Apple Watch Impossible to Pair with Three

Nadeem1
Fledgling

For the past 2 days I've been bounced around Three's Support Network with no solution to a somewhat simple issue. It seems like the "Technical Support" team and even the "Senior Technical Support" team have no clue as to how to fix an Apple Watch Network Pairing issue. Instead of helping with getting the watch's cellular working they started reading me Settings to change on my iPhone which are completely unrelated to my watch. I have had to unpair/factory reset my watch about 5 times as apparently that will fix the issue. Now to the issue at question:

When activating the cellular service on my Apple Watch, I cannot get past the login page as I keep getting "There's a problem, At least one of the fields is wrong" even though all the fields are filled and correct. I have been stuck at this for ages and for sometimes I get through to the "Our Plan" page which says that "You've already purchased this plan" and asks me to "Activate Now". After clicking this button, it sends me to another error "There's a problem, System Error." 

Now it's a shame that there is no support the "Technical Support" team can give to a growing group of users who use smart watches and want to connect to Three. If a company is charging £7 to pair cellular service to a smart watch then it should work seamlessly and have a support sector who can help if needed. I think the infrastructure should be built out, tested on and validated before it is allowed to be used by consumers. If a service can't handle a watch unpairing because the IMEI's are the same (as I have read in other forum posts) then that service isn't ready to be released, let alone ask users to pay for it.

If someone can help me get this sorted, please can you reach out as I am considering changing providers.

This is exactly my experience - occasionally I make it as far as “system error” and it can’t pair. 

I had it working last week on my old phone and watch, moved to the new and now it will not pair for anything.
