Make phone calls on Apple Watch
Ask Siri. Say something like:
“Call Max”
“Dial 555 555 2949”
“Call Pete FaceTime audio”
Make a call
Open the Phone app
, then tap the Keypad button.
Make calls over Wi-Fi
If your cellular carrier offers Wi-Fi calling, you can use your Apple Watch to make and receive calls over Wi-Fi instead of the cellular network—even when your paired iPhone isn’t with you or is turned off. Your Apple Watch just has to be within range of a Wi-Fi network that your iPhone has connected to in the past.
To see if your carrier offers Wi-Fi calling, see the Apple Support article . You can also end the call from your Apple Watch (for example, if you’re using earphones or a headset).
Thanks for your feedback.
