Eligible e911 devices

After a move, I wanted to make sure all my devices had updated and correct addresses. I confirmed the (single) billing address, updated 2 out of 8 service addresses (my son lives out of state most of the time), and then realized I probably needed to update the e911 addresses as well. Reading the help article [1], I was able to find the correct areaโ€ฆ but only 5 of my 8 devices show up to be updated. The help article mentions only โ€œhost MDNโ€ numbers may be available (with no explanation about what that is). I would have thought that meant that my phones would show, but possibly not my watches since theyโ€™re all number share. However, all my watches show and 1 phoneโ€ฆ 

Why canโ€™t I update the e911 number for the other 3 phones on my planโ€ฆ and why are watches available despite them not being a โ€œhostโ€ (unless Iโ€™m misunderstanding that term)? Is there a better explanation for what devices are eligible for this setting?

This isnโ€™t an issue with validation. I have no option to set an e911 address on 3 of my phones and 1 of my watches. 1 phone and 3 watches have an e911 set up.

No worries. Are the 3 watches that have an E911 address set up, linked to the 3 phones that aren't able to set up an address?

I have the same problem. Only two of the five iPhones on my plan appear in list of phones for updating E911 addresses.
