In cases, when users try to add an IMEI number to their account as a new line of service, it deems the device unsupported. But if the same IMEI number is searched on the carrier’s site, it shows that the device is indeed compatible.

Some keep getting the ‘eSIM download error’ or ‘Something went wrong’ message when trying to activate their cellular plan.

Affected users have even tried resetting Pixel Watch to factory settings multiple times but to no avail.

Here’s how you can fix it

A Verizon user has shared a list of some steps that can help enable LTE on the Pixel Watch.

If this doesn’t work, users can try contacting their carrier support, describe the issue and ask them about LTE services on the newly-launched device.
