Do kids with Apple Watches have phone numbers?

When you set up an Apple Watch for a kid in your family sharing group, and they don’t have their own phone, so they have their own phone number for their watch?

The watches need to have the Cellular option

You will need to ensure that your cellular/mobile provider will support Family Sharing and will issue the additional numbers to each child. Call them before you do anything.

The article you came to the community from Set up Apple Watch for a family member is the best resource for this situation. If you've completed that troubleshooting and the issue is still not resolved, use the link in the article to Contact Support.
