Apple Watch 11 add on does not work

Can someone please, please help me with this? The support I’m getting from Three.ie has been beyond frustrating, and at this stage I honestly feel like I’m being made a fool of.

Summary of the issue:

  • I bought an Apple Watch Series 11 with Cellular and added the Three add-on so I could use it without my phone.

  • The cellular connection was set up, but calls fail every time (none can be made or received).

  • Support advised me to restart the add-on several times. Doing this has now created a second problem: I’m getting the message that I’ve had “too many eSIM watch changes” and need Three to reset it.

  • So now I have two problems instead of one, and neither is resolved.

Long version:

  • I originally logged a ticket with Three about the watch not making calls. I provided all the requested details and was told it would be sorted by 4 October.

  • When I rang after that date, I was told there was “no problem” and the case had been closed.

  • I was then asked to provide times of the failed calls (I gave details for hundreds of failed attempts). I was told the case would be reopened.

  • I rang again to check, only to be told no case had been reopened. On that call, support even claimed the add-on doesn’t let you use the watch without the phone — which is simply not true.

  • Another ticket was opened, but the next day support closed and reopened the add-on, creating the new “too many eSIM watches” error.

  • When I rang back, I was told the agent didn’t know what to do, so another case would be opened.

  • Following up, I was told some of my case numbers were “invalid” or “not real.” Eventually one case was confirmed as open, but I wasn’t told which issue it relates to.

  • Today I rang again and was given a new ticket number of “NA.”

At this point:

  • I have contacted support over and over.

  • The information I’m given keeps changing from one call to the next.

  • I am now left with two unresolved problems (calls not working on the watch, and the eSIM reset issue).

  • I’m paying a significant amount on bill pay and I feel completely let down.

Request:
Please, can someone take ownership of this issue and resolve it properly. I can’t keep going in circles, being told something different each time. I need clear, consistent support and an actual solution.

This is the current error message (the second problem, with the first being that cellular calls on the watch don't work).

Hey @Add_13656, thanks for posting here and I'd love to look into this query for you. Pop through to us here on PM along with your full name, mobile number, address and date of birth so I can look into the account further for you. 

PM sent.

Thanks @Add_13656, I have received your PM and I'll get back to you there. 

Hi. I sent another PM regarding more confusing messages (saying they were going to close the case if I didn't provide information and contact chat, then saying no info is needed) and then them saying to wait another 48 hours. This is very frustrating - it's been almost 3 weeks at this stage and all I'm being told every time is to wait (or that they need more info as a deadline looms, then not looking for info and saying to wait some more days, over and over again.)

 

Now I’ve been give ANOTHER ticket number (NA) and told to wait. Please can someone tell me what to do here. This keeps shifting and tickets and cases being restarted indefinitely. This is dreadful. 

Hey @Add_13656 apologies for the delay in responding to both your PM and your post here as I have been looking into this for you and wanted to come back with more concrete information.

 

You may have received a notification about a case being raised however this may have been because I escalated this on my end for you so apologies for the confusion. I can assure you I am continuing to follow this up for you and if you have any questions that are account specific feel free to continue to PM me as I will be working on my end to get this resolved for you.
