phone call from Yosemite does not work

I have an iPhone 6 running 8.1 and a new MBP with Yosemite. I don't have the option to turn on cellular calls in FaceTime settings on my iPhone, it's simply not there. All devices are using the same iCloud account for everything bar the app store. When I try to call from Yosemite, I just get an error saying "iPhone Calls Not Available. Your iPhone must use the same iCloud ad FaceTime account. They are using the same account I promise! No wi-fi calling enabled, it's not even an option. I'm in the UK on giffgaff's network, not sure if that's an issue. EDIT: OK so as one last try straight after tying this I signed out of FaceTime at the same time on my Mac and my iPhone. I signed back in again first on the Mac, then on the iPhone, and the setting to allow Cellular calls appeared. Sorted!

Ug, I'm having a similar issue. Problem turned out to be I was hard wired and my wifi was on. I turned off the wifi and it forwarded the call to my phone appropriately. Unfortunately, at this point, the person I called was unable to hear me through the mic. So yea, working but not working. SMS works fine after the 8.1 update though.

HELP! I'VE CHECKED ALL THE SETTINGS AND RESTARTED EVERYTHING AND MADE SURE ALL DEVICES ARE LOGGED INTO 1 ICLOUD ACCOUNT BUT PHONE CALLING STILL SAYS "CALL FAILED"

Log out form everything. That worked for me. Still I can only call mobiles from FaceTime, or by right clicking the number and selecting: Call xxxxx trough my Iphone. I can't call from the address book, or in messages, by clicking details calling.

Guys I resolved disabling the firewall in OS X Yosemite.

After I turned the firewall off, I was able to make and receive calls and messages.

Fabio.

that does not work, I tried that.

just try using wifi

Ok after 4 days and 10 hours of Tier 2 support I got my handoff and continuity working,now able to receive and send calls. All functions working on my late 2012 iMac. That's the good news...

Now the bad news. You will have to do a bootable disk for Yosemite http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/16/make-os-x-yosemite-boot-install-drive/ and then do a totally clean install on your hard drive http://osxdaily.com/2014/10/18/clean-install-os-x-yosemite/ which means erasing hard drive. Obviously make sure you have backed your hard drive before doing this...This should take about an hour to do but once you do it 100% handoff and continuity will now work. Just make sure before you start reinstalling files and applications you test to make sure handoff is working. Once you start installing applications keep checking that your handoff works so you can eliminate any software that is conflicting with handoff. I would AVOID installation of any Virus Scan Software for now on your Mac.

Anyway good news I have it working bad news had to wipe hard drive but it actually did need a cleaning. Will now go through installation of prior apps and see if any of them including Parallels and Virus scans were the villians.

It takes a little bit of your time but the amount of time wasted with all these other fixes posted here(assuming you have followed Apples instructions on signing in and checking off proper boxes in General, signed into same iCloud account and FaceTime is checked into same account with accept cellular calls) you will be saving yourself any further headaches

i strugulling with this for somany days i able to make phone calls from macbook air 2014 model bt not getting incoming calls .. so i tired all things bt nothing i get ..i tired apple careand i sent diagnostics files also to them engeering reviewing those files.. bt i think it is not iPhone and macbook problem may be it some bus ...waiting for update fix ....

after clean installing problem rectified ?

after clean install all default apps on yosemite will be der ? are we have download? after clean install can we get all defaults apps in applications ?

Yes after erasing HD and doing a clean install problem solved everything with Yosemite is working phone calls, handoff and continuity. That being said be aware that if you then migrate back your files after doing a clean install you will have the same problem. We are still trying to identify which program(s) is the root of the call fail bug... I have a feeling it is either an anti virus problem or Parallels problem.

I did do a migration unfortunately migration didnt give me option which apps to migrate all or nothing...So wasted 2 hours migrating and again had same issue with call failure did another HD erase and clean install and we are again working; so 100% it is a 3rd party software issue on HD that is causing the call failure problems

When you do a clean reinstall of Yosemite you do get all the standard applications that came with Mac

Mid-2014 rMBP and VZW iPhone 5S. Did clean installs yesterday of both Yosemite and 8.1. Everything set from the beginning, no imported or migrated info.

All Handoff features working marvelously, except phone call Continuity

Like many others here, I have logged and and logged out of all iCloud on both devices. All settings are correct and log in information is the exact same. Phone call works VERY infrequently, randomly, and the most reproducible event is that incoming phone call don't get picked up by continuity and that if I try to initiate a call from the MBP, then I get the must be on the same network error.

...maybe in 10.10.1

I downgrade to 8.0.2 because 8.1 drain battery on my iPhone 6 Plus. Then I follow this guide.

http://www.idownloadblog.com/2014/10/22/cannot-activate-ios-8s-text-message-forw arding-and-iphone-cellular-calls-heres-a-fix/

Now I can place a call on my Mac and receive a call as well. 🙂

I'm taking this back. It is not working every time. I upgraded to 8.1 again just to see if it work if I follow the guide or not. It doesn't. Then I downgrade to 8.0.2 again (2nd time). Now it doesn't work. It is so unreliable. 😟
