May 27, 2016 9:42 AM in response to dmitchtpaby Meg St._Clair,Make sure you're logged into the same Apple ID on both your Mac and your iPhone. Then, on your iPhone, go to Settings>Phone>Calls on Other Devices>Allow Calls on Other Devices and set it to own. Make sure your computer is selected below that. Both devices need to be on the same WiFi network and both need to have Bluetooth turned on.

May 27, 2016 11:53 AM in response to dmitchtpaby Lawrence Finch,If you are in the US, your carrier is AT&T and you enable WiFi calling, the capability described by Meg will work with any WiFi connection; the phone and computer don't even need to be on the same WiFi network. In addition, if you make calls to the US from another country while connected to WiFi the call is treated as a US call, and only counts against your minutes (if they are not unlimited already). I'm using that feature right now from France. Further, I also have AT&T's International calling plan when calling from the US ($5/month). This makes calls to Europe only 9¢ a minute. And a WiFi call to a European number thus is also only 9¢ a minute. This mostly obviates the need to get a local SIM when traveling outside the country, except to have a local number for people calling you.
