Assisted cellular device activation

A method performed by a user device, the method comprising:

• installing, by the user device, a third-party companion application with a primary software development kit (SDK) for cellular service activation on a wearable device, the wearable device including a third-party device application having an embedded SDK for the cellular service activation;
• receiving, by the user device, input to initiate the cellular service activation for the wearable device;
• soliciting, via the primary SDK, user input for account settings associated with the cellular service activation;
• obtaining, via the primary SDK and from a network device, activation parameters, associated with the wearable device, for the cellular service activation;
• and
• forwarding, by the primary SDK and to the embedded SDK of the wearable device, the activation parameters.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium storing instructions executable by a computational device to:

• install a third-party companion application with a primary software development kit (SDK) for cellular service activation on a wearable device, the wearable device including a third-party device application having an embedded SDK for the cellular service activation;
• receive input to initiate the cellular service activation for the wearable device;
• solicit, via the primary SDK, user input for account settings associated with the cellular service activation;
• obtain, via the primary SDK and from a network device, activation parameters, associated with the wearable device, for the cellular service activation;
• and
• forward, by the primary SDK and to the embedded SDK of the wearable device, the activation parameters.
