Walkie-talkie not working when away from phone

Understood that, i was just curios if it works because i have seen this problem a few times before and it was almost always a problem with the FaceTime app / settings.

Apple Toolbox wrote a very good guide on these problems which i suggest you should follow:

TLDR Quick tips:

• Make sure FaceTime is on your device and that you are signed in with your Apple ID–all devices trying to connect via Walkie-Talkie must have FaceTime enabled on their paired iPhones
• Verify that FaceTime includes both your phone number and Apple ID email(s) under You Can Be Reached By FaceTime At
• Try making a FaceTime Audio Call from your watch
• Verify there’s a checkmark by your phone number AND your Apple ID email in the FaceTime Setting for You Can Be Reached By FaceTime At
• Don’t share an Apple ID–Walkie-Talkie doesn’t work with shared Apple IDs
• When Contacts Not Found to Invite, try Reset Network Settings on iPhone followed by a hard reset on your Apple Watch
• Toggle Available in Walkie-Talkie Off and On
• Remove your Walkie-Talkie contacts, restart the watch, and invite them again
• Ask Siri to FaceTime Audio Call the person you want to Walkie-Talkie with

Kind regards.

Hi churbo_nz,

to make Walkie Talkie "calls" you have to setup FaceTime on your iPhone. You must be able to receive FaceTime Audio calls. Is that criteria met?

Kind regards
