Q: Will the Apple Watch automatically connect to my phone carrier or would I have to add it to my plan for me to receive calls and text messages?
A: It will connect automatically to your phone, not your carrier. If the watch is linked and is near your phone with active calling the watch will pick up the call. To get phone calls on the watch without a phone nearby you need a separate plan/line for the watch.
