Aug 6, 2015 8:53 AM in response to yooptaby Allen A,★HelpfulHey yoopta,
It sounds as though you're having issues making phone calls from your Mac via Continuity. If you're receiving calls just fine, there may be an issue with your configuration or communication between the devices.
First I would recommend signing out of iCloud on your Mac and your iPhone.
On your iOS device: Go to Settings > iCloud, then at the bottom of the screen, tap Sign Out (Delete Account in iOS 7 and earlier).
On your Mac: Choose Apple menu > System Preferences, click iCloud, then click Sign Out.
iCloud: Change iCloud feature settings
After signing out on both devices, restart both your Mac and your iPhone.
Restart your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
After restarting, sign back into your iCloud account on both devices, then verify your configuration for Continuity.
Check the following settings on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch:
- Go to Settings > Wi-Fi and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
- Make sure your iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network by going to Settings > Wi-Fi and comparing the name of the network each is on.
- Go to Settings > Bluetooth and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
- Go to Settings > General > Handoff & Suggested Apps and make sure Handoff is on.
- Go to Settings > Phone. If you see Wi-Fi Calling, turn it off.
Check the following settings on your Mac:
- Go to the Wi-Fi icon at the top of your screen and turn on Wi-Fi if necessary.
- Make sure your Mac and iOS devices are connected to the same Wi-Fi network. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your iOS device and compare the name of the network with the Wi-Fi network on your Mac.
- Go to the Bluetooth icon at the top of your screen and turn on Bluetooth if necessary.
- In System Preferences > General, select “Allow Handoff between this Mac and your iCloud devices.” If you don't see this setting, your Mac may not support Handoff.
- Open the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls.”
- Go to System Preferences, and sign out and then sign in again to your iCloud account.

Aug 6, 2015 2:39 PM in response to Allen Aby yoopta,Thanks very much, it seems to have worked. Weirdly at first I did everything you had written but to no avail, and then after playing around a little more, the problem seems to have been solved. I just hope now the problem remains fixed.
Thanks very much for your help.
