AT&T users that upgrade to iOS 9.2 will be able to utilize the NumberSync service ... NumberSync lets you connect all of your AT&T devices like smartphones, tablets and wearables to your main number. And all of your incoming calls and text messages are routed to those devices rather than having it forward from a smartphone.

While Apple's Continuity feature allows users to place calls and texts within its own ecosystem of products, AT&T plans to bring those same capabilities to a range of LTE‑capable devices sharing the same phone number, regardless of platform, thanks to a new service called NumberSync. . . . NumberSync will work with tablets and wearable devices with integrated cellular radios. It will be offered at no extra charge beyond the $10‑per‑device fee AT&T charges per month for a connected tablet or smartwatch.
