Simple Voice Call from Mac - Not Facetime

I used to be able to make non-Facetime calls on my Mac. Just calling someone's mobile number. How do I do this now? All I see is the Facetime button.

MacBook Pro 13″, macOS 12.2

garywi,


Thanks for letting us know.


Have you been able to check to ensure that all of the following requirements are currently being met from your iPhone and Mac:

"Each device is signed in to iCloud with the same Apple ID.

Each device is signed in to FaceTime with the same Apple ID.

Each device has Wi-Fi turned on.

Each device is connected to the same network using Wi-Fi or Ethernet.

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Calls on Other Devices, then turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices.

On your iPad or iPod touch, go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on Calls from iPhone.

On your Mac, open the FaceTime app, then choose FaceTime > Preferences. Click Settings, then select Calls From iPhone."


If those look OK on each device, then we'd recommend following up with Apple Support for a deeper investigation: Get Support



Take care.
