Samsung Galaxy smartphones, tablets, and smartwatches can share calls and text from a smartphone and a single cell plan.
For example, a Galaxy Watch 4 can be setup to receive calls and text from a Galaxy S22 smartphone.
The setup is quick and easy by going to Settings–> Advanced Features and enabling the Call and Text On Other Devices option.
Many other combinations of devices can also be used, including compatible Non-Samsung Android devices and PCs.
A PC can also be set up to send or receive calls and texts.
A compatible device is needed, and a Samsung account needs to be set up for the option to work.
Most newer Samsung Galaxy smartphones and tablets will have the Call and Text On Other Devices option available.
This includes the Galaxy S20, S21, S22 and more.
Some cellphone carriers may disable this feature, and it may be country-specific.
