Apple Watch Question

If I connect my iPhone to my Apple Watch and I don’t have cellular on my iPhone but I have cellular on my Apple Watch would I still be able to make calls if I am away from my phone?

Check the top for a SIM..

You can only FaceTime and FT Audio w/ out SIM. Yes, you will need a sim card, check to see if the phone is GSM or CDMA to find capable networks.


(icloud eMails can only text and facetime. No calling, as you’d need some form of a landline or a SIM linked)



Also what iPhone model is this, you may need a SIM card adapter if it’s older (I think iPhone 4 and below..)
