Child’s Apple Watch

We recently bought our kids an Apple Watch with cellular as they are not ready for an iPhone yet. They have their own phone numbers and have started receiving inappropriate text messages and random phone calls. How do we block this from happening?

Block calls/text on Apple Watch w/Family Setup Can you block calls/texts to Apple Watch that is paired via Family Setup with an adult? Bought watch for grandmother with no iphone. She's now getting endless spam calls and texts. But, she doesn't have an iPhone to block and I can't find controls to block from my phone.

Child’s Watch receiving my phone calls Hi All, My daughters’s watch is getting all of my phone calls in addition to my watch getting them. She gets her own texts but she is getting my phone calls. I’ve unpaired the watch from my phone and repaired it, making sure that her watch was paired with her AppleID, but still the problem is there. Thanks for any help!

How to block unknown callers on an Apple Watch I don’t see any way to block unknown callers on an Apple Watch with cellular for a Family Member (with an Apple Watch only - no iPhone). I got my daughter an Apple Watch with cellular. This is her only Apple device. I used the family setup option to configure her watch on my iPhone. I setup her Apple Watch on its own line (under my TMobile family plan). I don’t see any way to block unknown callers on her Apple Watch (and the family setup is not helpful here either). Am I missing anything? Didn’t Apple anticipate having people with only Apple Watch receiving spam calls? This feature is a must (for minors in a family setup).
