The function allows up to six people in the same family group to share iTunes, iBooks, and App Store purchases. Family Sharing can also be used to share calendars and contacts so as to keep everyone connected.
If there are Contacts you need or want to share with others in your Family group, you can easily share the Contact card with them, and they can then add it to their Contacts. Once it is in the Contacts, it will be synced across all devices which are using the same Apple ID.
Add a Family Member:
Pick a family member Choose the family member who will use the Apple Watch. If they don't appear, tap Add New Family Member. Enter the family member's Apple ID password, then tap Next.
Sharing contacts isn't a feature of Family Sharing. iCloud Contacts is associated with your own Apple ID, and allows for your contacts to be available on your other devices automatically when the feature is enabled.
Those SE models start at $329 for the 40mm watchface or $359 for the 44mm version. Then add roughly $10 monthly for your wireless plan (depending on the carrier) and you're looking at a minimum of $658 for a family with two kids, plus $240 a year in cell charges.
To share contacts using family share: Step 1: Go to Settings > iCloud and select Set Up Family Sharing. Follow the onscreen instructions to finish the set up. Step 2: Send an invite to other family members (a maximum of 5) who have Family Sharing set up on their devices.

The person you set up Apple Watch for must be part of your Family Sharing group and have a cellular-capable Apple Watch SE or Apple Watch Series 4 or later. (Your family member's watch doesn't have to use the same cellular carrier as the iPhone you manage it with.)

One step I would recommend trying is to sign out of iCloud, restart your device then sign back in. See if it lets you add members without the error. If not and you're able to add payment methods with no issues, I'd recommend reaching out to Apple Support .
Family Sharing lets you and up to five other family members share access to amazing Apple services like Apple Music, Apple TV+, Apple News+, Apple Arcade, and Apple Card. 1. Your group can also share iTunes, Apple Books, and App Store purchases, an iCloud storage plan, and a family photo album.
