You'll probably have to pay around $10 to add cellular for the watch, similar to how it works for the iPad plan.

Also curious if it's available to people on obscure prepaid plans. I'm on T-mobile's $30 unlimited data+texting / 100 voice minutes.
Not looking at a new smartwatch until my pebble dies, and not that excited about $70 for built-in LTE (especially if there are ongoing monthly charges), but I'm curious.
That's going to be up to your carrier. In the US AT&T and T-Mobile seem to be charging $10 for watches, and Verizon charges $5 if it shares a phone number or $20 if it has it's own.
Piggy-back. You do not get a separate phone number for your watch. They will charge you $5 or $10 a month for the 'wearable device'.

Define 'new line'. It'll piggyback on your phone's phone number at an additional charge (up to the carrier)
Here's the list of countries and carriers that it will work with: http://live.arstechnica.com/apples-september-2017-iphone-8-l...
