If you add a cellular plan to your Google Pixel Watch, you’ll no longer need to get your Pixel phone out of your pocket every time it dings or receives a notification.

However, if you find it more convenient, don’t hesitate in setting up cellular connectivity on your watch.

If the Pixel Watch is activated on a Number Share line you can set up a mobile plan. For example, if you are using the Verizon network, select the Connect to Verizon network option. In the screen that appears next, tap the Set up or buy a plan or Scan QR code option.

Thereafter, when prompted, opt to sign in to your My Verizon account and follow the on-screen instructions to complete the setup. Note that options may vary based on the account plan. Wait for a few minutes to allow the process to complete and for signal bars to show up on the device. That’s how you can add a cellular plan to Pixel Watch.
