I was under the impression that even if I left my iPhone at home, for example, my new Apple Watch should still be able to make calls and receive texts since it has it's own line. is that not true? I have recently been separated from my phone and not been able to call or text on my watch. is it a setting problem perhaps?
Thanks
GPS
Apple Watch (GPS only) lets you send and receive text messages, answer phone calls and receive notifications when it’s connected to your iPhone via Bluetooth and Wi-Fi. The built-in GPS works independently of your iPhone for distance, pace and route mapping in workouts.
GPS + Cellular
Apple Watch (GPS + Cellular) has all the same features, as well as built-in cellular. It gives you the freedom to send and receive text messages, answer phone calls, receive notifications, and stream Apple Music and Apple Podcasts — even when you don’t have your iPhone with you.

Did you signup with your cellular carrier to activate the cellular radio in your Cellular Apple Watch?
And it does not have its own line, it shares your iPhone's phone number, and you get charged a fee which in the U.S. is $10 per month.
