Happened to me after upgrade to Big Sur - turned off Bluetooth on Mac and it started working.


  • Both iPhone and Mac were on the same Wifi network.
  • "Calls from iPhone" was checked in FaceTime Preferences on Mac
  • I did not have to click "Upgrade to Wifi calling" in FaceTime Preferences on Mac
