Q: Allow calls on other devices "even when your iPhone is not nearby"
iPhone 6Plus and iPad Pro - So I had to play with the phone and iPad buttons and reboot the iPad to finally get the iPad to make a FaceTime audio call over wifi. Sound quality is great and functionality is good both making and receiving a FaceTime audio call on the iPad. The problem I kept having was the iPad would revert back to using the iPhone to make the call instead of actually over wifi. Took me about 6 attempts to get it to work. All 6 times I was prompted to enter a code from one device to the other. So after a few days I attempt to initiate a call using the iPad and it dials using iPhone! I look on the phones setting and sure enough it's reverted back again. I toggled the allow calls on other devices button and allow calls on iPad and the code window popped up again. I tried a cal on the iPad and it dialed using my phone. I rebooted the iPad and tried again and it used wifi. Doesn't seem very robust to say the least. Anyone find a trick to get this to work a little more reliably?
iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.1
