Apple Watch and Value Plus plan
I purchased an Apple Watch with GPS + cellular directly from Apple. When I try to add the watch to my existing AT&T Value Plus plan I get a message saying “additional lines can’t be added to this plan”.
I was under the impression that I could add the watch to the Value Plus plan for $9.99 a month. Is this plan incompatible with the watch?
Thanks

Nope.
The value plus plan is a single line. One phone. Nothing else. You have to move up to the starter plan to add a $10 watch line. Or you can use the watch as a Bluetooth only device.

Closing the loop here in case helpful to others, I called AT&T and was able to add the watch for $10 a month and keep my existing value plus plan.

You might want to check your bill. I guarantee that's not what happened 🤣
Either they moved you to the starter plan, or they put the watch on its own plan which may cost you $60 a month. If they put the watch on its own plan (at any price) you will not be able to connect it as a companion device.

I would have gone with the Value Plus a few years ago if I could have added a cellular watch to it. It would have been easy money for ATT if the Value Plus plan was changed to just 1 PHONE line on the plan.
I ended up putting my main phone number on another carrier's prepaid plan that supported the Watch.
