As in hotspot.

Apple watch cellular service Hi, We are traveling to Alaska in May. My cell phone carrier cannot promise me that I will have service. I have been thinking of getting an Apple watch. If I have wi-fi or cellular Apple watch will I still be able to receive texts or calls or will it do the same as what my phone is doing in that area?
