setting up Apple Watch screen is blank
I'm trying to set up my Apple Watch's cellular plan according to the instructions. I open the Watch app, click "set up cellular", and log into my AT&T account. But that's as far as it goes, it just loads a blank screen with the AT&T deathstar in the upper right corner.
Are there any other options for activating cellular on a watch? Or can the setup page be loaded in a different browser?
This particular watch used to have a cellular plan with AT&T. When we switched to T-Mobile, I didn't continue it there, but now after switching back to AT&T I want to re-enable it.

Clearing cache and cookies was not germane, at all, to the problem.
For those following along, I went to a local AT&T store and got it fixed. The steps were:
1. Reset the Watch.
2. Sign up for the additional cellular line.
3. Add the EMEI of the watch to the cell line.
Step #2 was the key one, and not one that's mentioned anywhere. So, if you're having problems getting your Apple Watch cellular working, make sure you've signed up for a cellular plan through the AT&T website ahead of time. This really needs to be added to the steps for setting up a watch, not sure why it's not.

Hi @corbett_dallas, we're here to help set up your Apple Watch cellular plan.
We would suggest clearing the cache and cookies, and try a different browser to see if you can set up your cellular plan for your apple watch.
Review these detailed steps to set up NumberSync on your Apple Watch (GPS + Cellular) with your AT&T iPhone number, to talk, text, and use cellular data from your watch.
We hope this information helps, and thank you for reaching out to the Community.
