Can I call with a watch without having a cellular plan for the watch? - eviltoast

So here is the deal. I have a job that bought me an iPhone. They pay for the verison plan to keep it running. I work in a fast pace position with lots of people calling and texting me constantly. I want to be able to call and text from the watch but i don’t have the ability to put it on the plan with my phone since it is company owned (if that makes since). Is there a way to make phone calls and texts from a watch that is connected to my iphone via bluethooth? Or something similar?

Idk if this is the best place to ask this. Sorry if it’s not, i just don’t know where else to look for this solution. I’ve already googled and gotten confused by the different watches and capabilities or lack there of thst are put there.

    If the watch is connected to your phone via Bluetooth, you can “make calls” in the same way you could make calls with any other Bluetooth accessory such as headphones or a car stereo

    Text messages should just work as well, same basic idea

      Also works if the watch is on wifi as long as wherever the phone is, it still has an internet connection.

        Yes! I got texts from Android users on my watch when I left my phone at home. I thought it was super cool.
