Hello edfromacton,
Thank you for that clarification. While there isn't a way to prevent phone calls while allowing messages to be received, you can set communication limits to limit phone call, FaceTime, and Messages communication. You can find the steps for enabling this feature listed below and outlined in more detail via the following article.

If you would like to provide feedback to Apple about communication limits, you can do so via the Product Feedback website. This would ensure the right individuals is able to receive and review the feedback.

Hello edfromacton,
Thanks for posting in the Apple Support Communities. We're happy to look into this with you. When you say you want to turn off phone calls, do you mean you want to disable cellular services on the watch? If that's not it, take a look at Set up Apple Watch for a family member - Apple Support, under the section: Manage a family member's Apple Watch after you set it up, you'll find the features you're able to adjust.
Best regards.
Thanks for your response.
In answer to your question, I do not want to disable all cellular services, just voice calls. Text messages are fine. I notice that the Phone app can not be deleted.
