So here is the deal. I have a job that bought me an iPhone. They pay for the verison plan to keep it running. I work in a fast pace position with lots of people calling and texting me constantly. I want to be able to call and text from the watch but i don’t have the ability to put it on the plan with my phone since it is company owned (if that makes since). Is there a way to make phone calls and texts from a watch that is connected to my iphone via bluethooth? Or something similar?

Idk if this is the best place to ask this. Sorry if it’s not, i just don’t know where else to look for this solution. I’ve already googled and gotten confused by the different watches and capabilities or lack there of thst are put there.

    Go into iPhone watch app, scroll to phone & touch. Toggle on settings on for “mirror my iPhone”. On iPhone settings -> cellular toggle on WiFi calling & also calls on other devices. On your watch settings make sure you are on same WiFi network as iPhone.

    I can create or respond to txt’s & email w/ my non-cellular watch and also make & receive calls, both at home and away from home. Generally, I prefer using the phone rather than watch for this.

    I don’t know that all these settings are necessary since they don’t involve Bluetooth. I’d experiment with them. But when my watch happens to be on a different wifi then none of that stuff works. That could be due to phone being too far away from watch at that moment.
