is it the Verizon SIM, Verizon firmware or Verizon network that blocks Samsung call & text on other devices on Verizon?

I can find the feature in settings under connected devices on my Verizon galaxy tabs8+ and z fold 5 but it only works over wifi. When i get in the truck and no longer connected to home wifi it goes to call ended immediately when I try to call from tablet. texts not a problem. Same result hot spotting ether direction from tab or phone. Calling from tablet mounted in truck is what i used to do with messages plus but now that it is gone, I am trying for the best work around. I have talked to Verizon and Samsung support. The Samsung guy was confident if I had the unlocked phone, it would work but I am not so sure and don't want to make the leap until someone confirms it works. Verizon just politely said yea, the feature (message +) is gone and we are not providing a solution at this time. 25-year customer with wife and kid on account with multiple devices. Jumping ship is a pain with some risk in this area. I may help to know the technical question (is it the Verizon SIM, Verizon firmware or Verizon network that blocks Samsung call & text on other devices on Verizon?)
