Receiving FT Audio calls on AW works, but making FT Audio calls to same contact does not?

[MitzEclipse]

Title says it all - contact calls me and I can answer no problem on the AW. But making a call via the AW to the same contact does not work. Happens to anyone, not just a specific contact. Any ideas?

I make the call and the AW appears like it is dialling but then immediately drops the call. Contact does not get any call on the phone.

Using latest (non-beta) OS on iPhone and AW. Any ideas here or is this another AW bug that persists?

is this a cellular AW? do you have a cellular plan?
OS versions?

Make phone calls on Apple Watch

Use your Apple Watch to make phone calls.

AW8, no cellular plan, just tethered to iPhone which is in my pocket - no issues with connection. Should be definitely possible

it's a setting on the Phone app on the AW.
since there is no FaceTime app on the AW itself, I assume it uses the phone app, and I do not know, when answering, whether it uses bluetooth or wifi.
I do know that I have answered FT calls on the AW, and I do know that I can make phone calls from the AW, and while I have a U@ with cellular, I do not have a plan, but wifi calling is ON on my AW

I don’t have a wifi calling setting - see screenshot. I’m on the latest watchOS as well. Any ideas?

Do you have wifi calling enabled on your phone? Mine is disabled … don’t know if that has anything to do with it, see if that makes a difference.
And after that, I’d contact Apple

Now that you mention it this is something that has been failing for me quite often recently and I've done it without issue in the past.

yes, wifi calling is indeed enabled on my iphone. not sure that makes a difference though as I'm able to receive FT calls on my AW, i just can't make the calls!
