It's absolutely crazy that in 2025, this still does not work.

NONE of the 7 Xfinity Mobile agents we chatted and discussed with were able to provide an answer.

That's how you lose customers Xfinity. Well done!

Hello @user_prz3uq, Thanks so much for taking a moment out of your day to leave a post on our community forum and we would be happy to help. To clarify, so i know how to better assist you, are you saying the Apple feature which is family sharing is not working? Are you trying to add a watch without a data plan?

@XfinityChelseaB​ they mean the Apple Watch For Your Kids program that is NOT supported by Xfinity Mobile.

Please kindly escalate to your Product leadership - who has been ignoring customers' asks to support this feature for years.

@XfinityChelseaB​ yes you are unable to have a cellular watch for children through the family sharing. It is blocked by xfinity and says in all of the information that xfinity does not allow for family sharing. The only way to track my disabled child is to buy him a phone and have a cellular watch attached to it just for him. But before I was able to use just a watch. He is disabled and will never use a phone is it a waste of money for me. All because we were told the cellular watch would transfer over from Verizon and it didn’t had we known we would have never changed plans.
