Apple Watch mobile service error pairing.

So I accidentally unpaired my mobile plan from my Apple Watch series 10 through the watch app on my iPhone 16 because I noticed I had 5 inactive mobile data plans that appeared so of course I wanted to delete them to clean up. After deleting the 3rd inactive mobile plan it then disconnected my main plan for some reason or other.

 

when I went to try and pair my watch again I received an error message saying “ THERES A PROBLEM. Please note that you can’t progress to new subscription as you already have an existing one which is still in progress”.

So then I had been onto customer services to try and get this issue sorted, but they were telling me to try all the technical tips, Apple suggests and three suggests, everything other than being able to unpair the watch from the subscription. 

Customer services then went on to tell me that I have to wait until my next billing cycle to be able to connect. This however did not work as my billing cycle started again today, so I told three back on the 30th April to cancel my contract for the smart watch pairing, and they told me that it takes 1 month to completely cancel the subscription. Can anyone confirm if this is true and that I have to now wait until 30th May? Otherwise I’m thinking of just cancelling my phone contract and getting a whole new contract so that I can just be able to connect the watch!

Hi Pete

I never ended up pairing the mobile data with my mums SIM card. But when I did tap “mobile service” on the watch app. It didn’t come up with the error. It came up with a my3 sign in screen, but I didn’t proceed as that would attach a mobile plan to my mums SIM card. I genuinely think the only way around this is for me to have a new SIM card completely

Wanted to reply to this as I'm having very similar issues

 

I moved from an S25U and Galaxy Watch Ultra (bought outright from Samsung) to my current 16 Pro Max and Apple Watch Ultra 2 - called three to remove the Samsung pairing and was told I'll need to wait for the billing cycle to end, to allow me to pair my AWU2 to Three to have cellular connection

 

My billing cycle ended 25th May and since then I've got the same error message 'Sorry there is a problem - you cannot pair as there's already an active subscription' or something along those lines...

 

I've had call after call with Three about this and they've given me excuse after excuse, it'll take a week to investigate excuses also and it's still not working. 

 

So my only thought is to cancel my current contract with them, get a new one and port my number across... 

 

Does anyone know if this would work at all?

I was fed up in the end so I just got three to change my phone number and it worked
