Hi


The functions that are available on your Apple Watch when it is away from your iPhone depend on various factors including:



Features and requirements that apply under various circumstances are detailed here, including within footnote #2 in respect of calls:


How to use your Apple Watch without your iPhone nearby - Apple Support


In respect of call-related issues when using the built-in cellular feature, I suggest that, in the first instance, you contact your carrier for assistance.


If the issue persists, then, depending on your carrier's advice, I suggest that you next contact Apple Support (remote diagnostics and/or mail-in service may be available, if required), make a Genius Bar reservation or visit an Apple Authorised Service Provider for assistance:
