So I recently got an I watch. It has cellular on it. So I have my own phone number to my watch. Every time I try to call my watch directly using that phone number it goes straight to voicemail. How do I change that

Chances are that number is just for tracking purposes by the cellular carrier.


The Apple Watch was setup to share your iPhone's phone number, not to have its own number, unless it is being used as a dependent child's Apple Watch with the Parent's iPhone being in control.


You would most likely have to talk to your Carrier as I've heard of carriers that do ring through to the tracking phone number, but that is not true in all cases.
