Not getting call notification on iphone and getting only on apple watch ultra

I have an apple watch ultra and activated e sim on my watch. When my iphone and watch are not in range, the LTE gets activated on the watch. If someone calls me, I only get call notification on my watch and not on my phone ?


I am sure apple is smart enough to set things that one gets notification on both the devices if they are not in range.


Is someone else facing this issue ?

You can't receive notifications on both devices.

You need to distinguish between call rings and notifications about a missed call.


With phone in range then notifications are as Ingo2711 explained, however you should get rings on both devices.


If your phone is out of range then the Watch, if you have a cellular model, will assume that you are the one wearing the Watch and therefore you will want to be called on the Watch, not on the phone a mile away.
