iPhone 16 Pro Max iOS 26
Watch Ultra 3 watchOS 26.0.1
Carrier AT&T
I don’t know if this is something new, or I just didn’t notice it before.
The watch is paired with the phone, the AT&T plan transferred from the Ultra 2, and number sync was installed.
I can make outgoing calls from the watch with no issue.
If both the phone and watch are on and I call from a different phone, both ring and I can answer from either the phone or watch as expected.
However, if I power the phone off and call the number from another phone, the watch will accept calls only if WiFi on the watch is turned off. If it is on, the calling phone gets a recording that the number cannot accept calls.
