My watch has a separate phone number that I should be able to call directly. But when I call that number I get an error stating "the wireless customer is not available" also no SMS messages go through when it is connected to Wifi if sent to that number. How do I get this number to work?
Apple Watch Series 6
The phone number for the watch shown on your phone bill is not able to call the watch. That number is for the cellular service provider records only.

As Dah*veed correctly suggests, you cannot call the number assigned to your watch. It is for you carrier to be able to bill you for service. It's not a functioning phone number.
Trying to call my watch cellular number directly and I get an error.
