Both are fine if you are by yourself, but not so much when others are around. Too many people could hear my conversations, just like Bluetooth calling in a car. It seemed cool at first, but after using it for a couple of days at home and at work, I decided that I didn't like it. One thing that I personally agree with is that I found receiving calls on other devices to be annoying. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone.

On Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences.

On iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.

On iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.

Each device is connected to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.Each device is signed in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.It works when your devices are near each other and set up as follows: Use iPhone Cellular Calls with any Mac, iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch that meets the Continuity system requirements. Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Apple Watch - Apple Support Sure looks like it is dependent on being signed into iCloud to me.

Cumbersome, loud, kinda confusing.But, let us know if you enjoy it I have it on, but it's basically annoying as heck.

:-) Also, I would sign out and put the APPLE IDS into FACETIME, THEN if you can (you may not need to), sign out of Messages and sign back in with the same APPLE ID.Īlso, check that handoff is on.(This IS the same iCloud APPLE ID required, I think).and that WIFI CALLING IS ENABLED ON ALL DEVICES.AND THAT WIFI and CELLULAR are turned on for data on all.and WIFI assist is on.Careful if data use is an issue.įrankly, you may find this is all more trouble than it's worth. That could be ANOTHER Apple ID if you like, for purchases.įacetime and Messages are not part of iCloud. Just like neither of these are connected to the APP STORE. It's about using the same APPLE ID (nothing to do with icloud) entered into FACETIME as the APPLE ID for FACETIME.and for iMESSAGES.The Apple ID must match in 2 places on each device: Facetime.and Messages.The system settings/preferences iCloud panel it not connected to this. Yes, it isn't about signing into and out of icloud.
