T-Mobile and Sprint, the No. 3 and No. 4 wireless carriers in the US, each confirmed Thursday they are working on features that will let customers use the phone number associated with their smartphones to receive phone calls and text messages on other connected devices, such as smartwatches and tablets.

AT&T was the first major carrier to announce it will offer this functionality. The carrier this week said its feature, called number synchronizing, will launch in the holiday season.

Wireless carriers are adding this ability as more tablets, wearable and other gadgets are being equipped with their own cellular radios. This allows them to use a cellular network to make calls or connect to the Internet without being tethered to a smartphone. For consumers, the features will simplify the management of multiple devices on the same wireless account. As mobile penetration in the US approaches 100 percent, wireless carriers are banking on consumers adding additional devices to their monthly data plans in order to drive growth.  

Hearing this, I feel proud of living in Europe

It`s already done for one year, it`s comfortable to receive calls on your smartwatch, sometimes you forget to take it off when you get to shower, but luckily some models are waterproof
