Who I have the same questioned this topic

So, over the weekend my phone was destroyed which means i just have my watch for communication until my replacement phone gets here. while phone calls work fine on the watch, text messages only work if someone text my watches phone number rather than the "numbershare" number (which is my cellphone number). i called and talked to VZW tech support and they claim that this is the intended operation. you're telling me that "numbershare" doesn't work with text messages? unfortunately i've had this watch since it first came out and never really cared about this because my phone always worked; otherwise i would return it. This seems like a critically missing piece of "numbershare". can anyone chime in if there's a work around or something for this?
