"Your iPhone is not configured to make phone calls using your mac."

Shortly after downloading the full version of OS Yosemite, I tried making a phone call from my mac, and got this message, "Your iPhone is not configured to make phone calls using your mac."


I am not quite sure what to do next, any suggestions are appreciated.


Thanks in advance,

Make sure that Facetime on your iPhone is ALSO configured to use your iCloud address / Apple ID (settings -> Facetime). It needs to be the same account that you use on your Mac.


If its only configured to use your phone number then you won't be able to make calls from your Mac, resulting in this error message appearing.
