ATT wifi calling on watch without iPhone?

[exxxviii]

Mine does not show my watch either. But it works. I was actually surprised by the screen shot above that shows the watch. I had not seen that before.

So you can actually call from the watch with the phone turned off? Guess AT&T turned that feature on for some and not for others.

Yes. I can make a call from my watch with my phone (T-Mobile) totally off.

Oh...... T-Mobile. I'm on AT&T.

Oh...... T-Mobile. I'm on AT&T.

Yeah... I joined this thread when I answered someone's question about whether anyone got it to work with any carrier. I guess I should have prefixed every post with "T-Mobile" to clarify.

Thanks for taking the time to help.

My watch doesn't show up in that list, but still with ATT wifi calling enabled, I was able to turn off Bluetooth and make a phone call. I didn't turn the phone off, but that shouldn't make a difference since the BT connection was severed. I'll try later with the phone off for confirmation.

I can make calls with BT turned off too, as long as the phone is on. When I turn the phone off, all calls fail on the watch.

Actually - with BT off your Watch will attempt to connect to a known Wifi network... and then reconnect to your phone over that network... giving you all the same abilities as if you had BT on (including making calls).

The only way to know for sure that your Watch can make a call without your phone is to turn your phone off.

Yes, I tried all of the mentioned settings, but no luck with ATT, if my phone is turned off.
