Now that Verizon has discontinued integrated calling support for Wear24, I am not able to send/receive phone calls directly on my watch anymore. I used to be able to send/receive phone calls using my Phones number via their "integrated calling" platform. Was a pretty decent concept for people who didn't want an iPhone/Apple Watch combination.
I have a Wear24 with Wear 2.0, but I think that's besides the point. Generally speaking, are there any options out there that will allow you to send/receive phone calls from a WearOS device using your phones number? Is it simple, and I'm missing the big picture?
It would be nuts how Google hasn't done some type of integration themselves. Even a Pixel device with a WearOS combination seems like a mild effort.
Even if I don't hook up a WearOS smart watch to cellular. Even if I'm connected to Bluetooth or something, there's still no solution to make and receive phone calls on the watch?
With an iPhone / Apple Watch, everything seems to integrate so seamlessly making and receiving calls on a watch. and cellular's not even needed!
Thoughts? Ideas?

I was wondering if you clever devs could look into adding phone functionality to the adam 3g model ?
it should be capable and would be handy for the odd occasions with a bluetooth headset.
The early tablets and recently at ces the tablet had phone icons on the desktop so im sure its at least a possibility !!
many thanks in advance
On the Battery Use, I have seen a "Phone" process.
Maybe it is already activated, but not used
You can get to the phone section via "contacts" but when you try to make a call it says "call ended" after you hit the call button. From the FCC docs, it says that the Ericcson F3307 3G card is "voice" capable so in theory it is possible! The only thing even close to phone functionality that does work is the sending/receiving SMS messages atm.
Just a shot in the dark, but does google voice's data calling use the same process?
yes and it sucks. it only stinks that the google voice works over data and not wifi. so i cant make a call over wifi if i dont have a valid sim card in.
assume that you have two android devices (GSM enabled) paired via Bluetooth (and/or WiFi direct)
this application is to use one of the devices to enable voice calls over the other device.
By this way if you are using one gsm enabled android tablet and one android phone with regular size and If someone calls your tablet, you will be able to receive calls over android phone or vice verse. And also making calls by phone over tablet can be feature.
Please let me know if there exists an application doing this, or a developer that may work on that.
I can prepare more detailed requiements for the sw.

Hi everyone,
First I need to state that what I'm using is the new Fitbit charge band. It's a fitness band, not a smartwatch. I understand this but this fitness band does have an OLED screen that shows CALL NOTIFICATIONS, among other fitness data like steps, time, etc. What it doesn't do is show TEXT NOTIFICATIONS OR EMAILS.
This is going to be an odd question but I figure xda forum is just the place to ask. I need to figure out how to have texts on my phone show up as calls as well as text form notifications for my fitbit charge sports band. I've thought of everything such as forwarding to google voice and then forwarding back to my cellphone as a text to landline to receive my texts that way. But it seems the only way to get a text to landline is to literally have a landline telephone. Is there an app that could do this? Any help please!! I know this is confusing but I'm not the only person out there who would love this functionality.
Smartwatches just aren't low profile enough in my opinion and that is why I'm trying to jimmy rig this thing to work how I'd like.
Thanks for the help!!
Hi there,
I'm a new owner of a Joying HU and figuring out how it all works.
Pretty happy with it so far.
So here's my question:
I ordered a 4G dongle to have a permanent data reception and was wondering, if it would be possible to do in- and outcoming calls with it directly so I could do withou a bluetooth paired phone at all.
Has anybody tried that or ist this just not possible?
Thanks
Thomas
I'm planning a similar setup, but it looks like there are no 4G dongles with voice support. If you need 4G, the only options right now seem to be some LTE routers which support VoLTE or CSFB and can act as a SIP server (e.g. Huawei E5186). However, all I've found are somewhat expensive and rather bulky.
The situation looks a lot better for 3G though. Asterisk's chan_dongle module supports voice calls with a bunch of Huawei 3G dongles. So my current plan is to use one of these, run asterisk as a local SIP server, and use an Android SIP client for calls. That way, I don't have to find or write a specialty dialer that supports 3G dongles.
if you are on T-Mobile they have the DIGITS app that will allow you to do that. Someone at one time got Tablet Talk to work, but I never could
I use Google Voice app. Makes all the calls through data as VOIP. as an added bonus, they give you a number so you don't need to use your personal phone for business
At the moment, my phone/watch configuration is an iPhone 8 Plus and LG Watch Sport. Wifi and Bluetooth are disabled on my watch and I use AT&T NumberSync to make sure I don't miss any calls or texts. I'm curious as to whether it's possible to enable the texts received on my watch, which has it's own phone number, to also be received on an android tablet. What made this come to mind was the way Apple devices allow texts and calls across any and all Apple devices. I can receive calls and texts on my iPads, on my Macs and my phones, so long as they all are logged into my Apple account. I'm curious if it's possible to complete the cycle to allow my Android devices to see those texts, as well, perhaps by pushing texts from my Android Wear watch through something like, say, PushBullet.
