A cellphone accessory for a smartphone?

Is there a accessory/device that I can use to connect to my android phone and use that device/accessory to compose message and do/accept calls on it when someone will call on my android device.
What I mean is for example I will compose a text message on "that device/accessory" which is connected to my android phone and when i send the message i just composed on " that device/accessory" it would then send the message to my android phone and then my android phone would automatically send the message on the network thus i only use one sim and when someone call to my android phone "that device/accessory" would act like a wireless Bluetooth headset?

You can use something like AndroidLost to send and read SMSs remotely from any browser enabled device, but you wouldn't be able to make or answer calls (though you can force the phone to hang up). You should be able to activate calling over bluetooth with any laptop. What exactly did you have in mind for an accessory?

What i imagine is am accessory maybe that look like an old nokia model (those like 3310 and such) but connected top my android phone and whenever i receive a text on my android phone i can read it using that accessory and can reply to that text using that accessory also. And also i can answer calls using it.
Maybe the idea is very closely similar to a sony smart watch but with the ability to send sms and accept calls.

I think you're looking for a bluetooth headset. With the voice recognition google apps in ICS and above, you can easily use a BT headset to compose messages and control your phone.

how do i compose message on a bluetooth headset? is there ab bluetooth headset with screen??

I read this a while ago and I still don't understand.
You're just asking for another phone (makes calls, has a screen big enough you can type messages on it) - that's not an "accessory" - so of course no one makes one. If this isn't just another phone tied to your phone... what do you want ?
A smart watch is what you want, but it doesn't have a big enough screen to type. Make the screen bigger and you literally have a regular phone.
You'd need to connect them over bluetooth, wifi, or cellular network - the last negating having only one SIM and the first meaning they'd need to be in decently close proximity - over wifi would only work if this "accessory" had wifi access and could do what you want.
If you really want a second phone that doesn't use network access - just get one. You can still use it over wifi and you can use Google Voice to retain the same number between devices. You can use various apps to get calls on it as well as sending SMS/IM.

It''s a phone tied to another phone. Imagine it as a smartwatch but i can compose message and does not look like a watch but a phone (looks like those first gen nokia phones). That my sim is on my android phone and whenever i receive message on my android phone it will be send over using bluetooth or wifi network to that phone and when i compose message to that phone it would be send on my android phone and be send to the network.
It's like a reprogrammed nokia phone to act like a smartwatch.

[Q]Moto 360 at incoming calls only show 6 digits short number instead of contact name

I'm a China Mobile user with some trouble of getting my Moto 360 incoming calls displaying China Mobile's VPMN contact names correctly.
Background:
Moto 360 with original OS. Mobile phone is Oneplus One OxygenOS.
Mobile contact uses Google's Contacts. Mobile has activate Google Now, setting up VPS for bypassing the great firewall, with languages set to English.
All my colleagues uses China Mobile's VPMN short number, so incoming call has always been in 6 digits short number.
Problem:
When I get 6 digits short number call in. On the phone it shows up contact names correctly, but the watch always just show the 6 digits number. When I get call in from regular number (11 digits), both the phone and watch display contact name correctly.
I've tried reinstall the CM system, uninstall security software, upgrade my watch to be the latest version, switching language to Chinese. None fixes the problem.
It's kinda sad to see a good watch with problem like this because I basically lose the ability to see who is calling in.
Help is much appreciated.

Google is not accessible

Hi, sometimes, when I use a voice command the watch says only "Google is not accessible now..." (I have my language selected so the message in English can be a little bit different).
When I pull down the screen there is a scratched cloud. But the watch is connected to the phone and the phone has internet connection! Notifications are incoming but voice commands not.
May be related: voice data text to speech are downloaded often. Restart the watch doesn't help always, restart the phone helped but it could be a lucky.
Any idea?
Watch: Huawei Watch 2 Sport with SIM inserted, connection set to automatic (never seen connected)
Phone: Samsung S9+, no root, battery optimizing disabled.

Call forwarding

Hello,
Recently I received brand new Samsung Galaxy J6 from my company.
Since I use this phone only for sms & internet, I configured call fowarding to my other number.
Problem is that call forwarding only works when phone is in airplane mode or turned off. When the phone is connected to gsm, redirection is on and someone calls the number they receive a message "The number you're calling doesn't exist". When I switch on airplane mode then call forwarding works as expected.
I'm using the newest software version avaialble and tried to configure call forwarding either via menu or via codes - result is the same.
Just to confirm the problem is not with the SIM card, I put it in my old nokia lumia - there call forwarding works as expected, tried also with samsung galaxy s5 - it also works fine.
According to my company's IT department they're aware of it, and it is present on all samsung phones from J series.
Did anyone encounter similar issue and knows how to resolve it? I guess it shouldn't be normal behaviour that you have to turn on airplane mode or switch off the phone for call forwarding to work.
Thanks

Galaxy watch LTE text with non Samsung phone

Hello all,
I think what I'm trying to do may be impossible but unsure.
I have a Huawei P30 Pro and a galaxy LTE 46mm.
Wherever my phone is connected to Bluetooth with the watch, all my text and call notifications come through fine. Whenever connected over a network, sending and receiving calls works fine, however I can't receive texts. I can send them through the watch built in messaging app but if someone responds the watch isn't notified while the phone is.
I am using numbershare if that matters at all.
I think the problem is that I'm not using Samsung's own messaging app myself but not sure. I've downloaded an APK for it but it won't launch anyway.
Thanks!

Nevermind figured it out. Had to enable the sync with Samsung account feature in the wear app

Glad you got it sorted! My texts work stand alone or with my OnePlus 7pro.

Hi, may I ask which carrier are you using for number share between hua Wei p30 pro qns Samsung galaxy watch LTE?
