I am in the process of getting a work phone and rather then carry around 2 phones I would like to carry 1.
Is there a way I can have the calls and texts sent to my personal phone passed along to my work phone?
I know you can do this with imessage calls but will it work with messages and calls through the carrier and how do I do this? Phones would be a 6s and an 8.
iPhone 6s
This can be done and I have done this in the past until the dual SIM (1 eSIM + 1 Physical SIM) iPhone X came along.
You have an iPhone 6s and an iPhone 8 (assuming the iPhone 8 is the work phone).
The above was written with the assumption that you are comfortable with setting up and activating Messages and understand how Apple ID functions. Thanks.

This has nothing to do with your carrier forwarding your text messages.
This has everything to do with the Text Message Forwarding function activated on your iPhone so that your iPhone can relay (forward) those messages (iMessages and SMS) to another iPhone using the SAME Apple ID.
Did you check in Settings-->>Messages-->>Send & Receive that your Apple ID (email address) is listed there? Are both phones on the same Apple ID in that setting? If NOT then tap on the Apple ID section, sign out and sign back in with the right Apple ID.
See if that works to bring the Text Message Forwarding option back into play.

I asked my carrier turns out they do not support text message forwarding so this option will not work
In settings>messages Text Message Forwarding is not an option on my phone. I am not sure if this is a regional thing or a carrier concern.

Make sure that you are logged into Messages with your Apple ID and not with your phone number. Both of your iPhones will need to be logged into the same Apple ID.
