Samsung Galaxy Watch 3 Unable To Call / Text.

I have just got the Galaxy Watch 3, love it apart from a small problem.

I have installed the Samsung app and configured it all and the watch has a 4G plan which costs £5 a month. I was under the impression that when the watch is away from the phone I could call and text with the same number as my phone. When out of range it just asks if I want to connect via Bluetooth.

I have hard reset the watch, and configured it as a stand alone device with it's own 4G connection, but this is for the number allocated to the watch which I don't want. Once configured like this, the watch does have an active 4G connection.

So in short, when configured via Bluetooth to my phone it all works perfectly with notifications etc, once out of Bluetooth range can't call/text etc.

It's paired to a Sony Xperia 3 under Android version 10.

Thank you!

@MI5 Thanks.

I did post a similar thread as couldn't find my original post, and now can't delete it! Sorry!

I can't see the option anywhere in my phone to allow calls on other devices. It's an XZ3 under Android 10.

Thanks!

Not sure how it works with Sony but have you downloaded the Sony smart connect app and tried through that?
