Help with Kids Apples Watch Phone Number We bought both of our kids Apple watches and they each have their own line through Verizon. When I set up my son’s I had no issues. He can call and text and it shows it’s coming from his phone number. When I set up my daughters it shows her messages coming from her iCloud email. When I check the info on her phone in settings, it says she has the same phone number as my son. She should have her own and I cannot figure out how to get the watch to use her phone number instead of email.

Pairing Apple Watch on different carrier than iPhone on Verizon I would like to have my dad to use my Apple Watch ( cell with T-Mobile) he has iPhone but his phone plan on Verizon I thought because I had a plan Apple Watch on T-Mobile that it should pair with his Apple ID and still use my plan when not near his phone ( for like emergency) so question is can I set up watch as family on my plan then use his Apple ID with his Verizon iphone and get messages and phone calls?
