Phone calls on other devices

[Deguello]

Not sure exactly where to put this, so apologies if it needs to be moved.

I have my iPhone set to silence calls that aren’t from a contact. That works. My Apple Watch Ultra mirrors this and also doesn’t ring (it has a cellular plan).

I have my other devices — iPad, MacBook, and my other Apple Watch (it no longer has a cell plan) — set to ring when my iPhone rings (i.e., a call from a contact). That works.

However, if I am using my iPad, spam calls ring on the iPad and the old watch.

How do I keep using my other devices to answer calls that come through on the phone but not be bothered by spam when my iPhone and watch know to silence the unwanted calls but the other devices apparently don’t?

Thanks…

I’ve encountered the same behavior, and ended up turning off “Calls on other Devices” as a result. I really don’t use the iPads much to answer calls anyway. But if anyone figures out the “Secret sauce” of it I’d like to turn it back on.
