She attempted that and it didn't work, but just mentioning it here for folks who want to try that.
Her last recommended step for me was visiting a store and have them look at it, but that ain't happening. I'll just do the wifi thing, which is what I planned to do anyway.

Well... the 'expert' took like 30+ mins and still couldn't figure it out. They ask if the card is locked, no matter what card is used.
Even for the watch, it was weird -- several attempts wouldn't work, even from the rep, but after like 5 tries it finally went through. But the bill then came in on the first card he tried, way after he said that card wouldn't work.

It's a Google WearOS watch so can't be setup with the iPhone/iOS. I learned about it too yesterday.
But there is a workaround. From this link https://xdaforums.com/t/galaxy-wa...e.4532989/ start at step 6 and ignore everything above. I did this myself on a tmobile plan phone. Step 10 will have the link to the QR code.
A Youtube video https://youtu.be/AIGk03I1wvg to help visualize the guide to get into to the test menus on the app.
Once it all goes through it will want to install Metro related apps, but I didn't see anything added.
I was able to send a text from the watch to my tmobile phone and confirm mobile data, but can't seem to receive a text reply back. Better than nothing.
Similar issues have been reported with their tablets (at least the ones like Samsung that allow messaging) - while on 5G you can send text messages you never receive them. The first clue is to turn on/off airplane mode - it first registers on 4G and you get all the messages, then it switches to 5G and no more messages (and that airplane mode on/off is your backup plan).
