Your vívoactive^® watch uses a separate Verizon^® phone number.

Messages sent to the watch phone number appear on the watch (when your phone is in Bluetooth^® range or when your phone is outside Bluetooth range and your watch is connected to 4G LTE). New messages or replies sent from the watch are sent from the watch phone number. Garmin^® recommends letting your friends and family know your watch phone number.

When your phone is in Bluetooth range and a message is sent to your smartphone number, your watch receives a smart notification, and you can use that smart notification to respond to the message from your smartphone number.
