Hi, my wife and I both have cellular enabled Apple Watches with an Optus Number Share each. We both can make calls when out and about on the watches without our iPhones, but they both will not work for text messages - either SMS or iMessage... tried resetting / re-pairing to now avail. Any ideas?
Apple Watch Ultra
Did you contact the carrier, if they can check the SMS service from their side?
Can you receive and send messages on your iPhones?
