Hello All,
I have problem with my Huawei Watch 2 4G.
I would like to send text messages over Google Assistant but I can't use my phone number for it. Google choose my watch number for this all time. Is it possible to switch between watch and phone number? Like in phone calls?
Because If I start phone call over Google Assistant on my watch I can switch between phone and watch SIM card...
Thank you for answer and help
Have a nice day

I have a personal phone on Tmobile and looking to get the S2 activated to get calls from my personal number. Do I need to have the watch synced to the phone on Tmobile for this to work? I also have a work phone on AT&T that I would like to connect to get Hangouts notifications on the watch if possible and not connect to my Tmobile phone.
I have T-Mobile and recently went ahead and got the service for my Gear s2 watch. In the Gear Manager app I turned on call forwarding and indicated the new phone # of the watch and all calls forwarded to the watch if I don't pick up my phone. I don't see the field there to call forward to 2 different phone #s. You can install Gear Manager on AT&T phone(if it is Android) and make it your main phone, then enable call forwarding to your watch . Before you do the above, you would need to do "light reset" of the watch in the settings to be able to connect to another phone. <- in all of my cases, it was required when I wanted to connect my watch to another phone.
Oh I didn't know the watch has its own phone number and that the calls needed to be forwarded. I guess I thought wrong that the watch could be stand alone using my same number.

Dear everyone,
I found there is missing on Gear manager or they don't want it appear or they just want it appear on 3g version but how inconvenient I feel when there is a phone call and my phone was in the pocket. Why there is no option to display the phone call screen during the time of phone calling?
Could you please instruct me how to get it on my watch? If not, is there someone can write an apps for it? I am ready to pay for it instead of changing the 3G version because I don't really need another sim card on my watch or using 3g through the watch.
Thanks in advance and sorry for my bad english!
When I initiate call from the watch, it is always using the watch cellular radio. How can I make the call to use the sim in my phone? Thanks for helping.
When I have a sim in my watch and in my phone and will make a call, I get the opportunity to choose in the watch which sim to use.
Hi! Is it true that while the watch is connected over Bluetooth with the phone, the SIM in the watch is disabled?
I asked Huawei support and they said it's true. I want to receive calls on the watch, from the watch SIM, and also receive notifications from the phone on the watch, plus phone calls on the phone as usual.
I mean, can I use the watch as an independent cell phone for calls when connected using Bluetooth with a cell phone?
I don't have the watch to try it out, I'm considering buying it.
Thanks!

I'm gonna answer my own questions, since I found the answer myself after buying the watch. Also, not even the Huawei support could not clarify this for me.
So by default, the cellular connectivity is configured as Auto, which indeed will turn off the SIM when connected with the phone over Bluetooth, to save power. But that option can be set to On, so the SIM will always be active, which is what I wanted. To save power, I also set the Preferred Network Type to 2G in the Advanced section. Also, the Smart Power Save feature can be set to disable the SIM card data, only leaving voice active, which should also save power if you don't need it.
I've manage to get a UK Vodafone PAYG sim transfered to esim and loaded onto my watch 4.
This works fine receiving and making voice calls, sending txt messages, but it won't received an incoming txt message directly to the watches esim number.
Anyone know why not?
It was possible on my previous LG Watch Sport with microsim.
Thanks.
Have you installed Google Messages from the play store? That allows me to switch from phone to watch number for reading and sending texts.
I've discovered with the right settings selected in the wear app, as long as my phone is switched on, I still receive txt messages sent to my phones sim number on my watch, as long as my watch is connected to the Internet either by WiFi or LTE.
Also I can send a txt from my watch, using the phone sim number, again as long as connected by either WiFi or LTE.
That's pretty cool when away from my phones Bluetooth connection, especially when LTE automatically switches itself on when it looses Bluetooth connection from my phone.
Therefore I don't really need to be able to use the watches sim number for txt messages.

Yes, that's the way I've been doing it for Galaxy 4 on TMobile
