Hello everyone, as an international nomad, I use my Apple Watch cellular every day for almost everything. However, unfortunately, I can’t use the cellular function when I travel to other regions for an extended period, such as Europe or Asia. So, I’m wondering if someone could help me unlock the original restriction on Apple Watch cellular functions. I’ve done some research online, and it seems possible because this restriction is artificial. I’ve attached the information I gathered from Reddit. I look forward to hearing any good news and am happy to help if needed.
“Carrier Bundle” contains various information, including the SKUs of devices that it supports on its network. In my case, my carrier had SKU_EU defined in their carrier bundle, while my watch originated from the US and had SKU_NA. Therefore, the Watch app compares these two values and decides to disable the activation button since they don’t match. This limitation is artificial, and if we could find a way to enable the activation button, the activation process could start.
I believe there are three types of firm SKU in total EU, NA, CN.
