Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
iPhone continuity calling works from my iPad but not my Mac. Yosemite 10.10. iPhone 5 with iOS 8.1 Using same Apple ID, everything turned on in FaceTime and iPhone per instructions. Both on the same Wi-Fi network
Get this message: IPHONE NOT AVAILABLE, your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
They are on the same network.
MacBook Pro, OS X Yosemite (10.10)
Hi, I have a MacBook Pro and use the calling feature too, recently I had changed the caller ID settings on my iPhone for FaceTime. That was it.
Later the problem started where I couldn't accept calls on my MacBook, as soon as I accept the call it fails. And also making calls from MBP always showed call failed.
I was receiving messages(both iMessage and SMS), only the calling feature was not working.

||THIS WORKED FOR ME||
Setting on iPhone-->Go to FaceTime-->Caller ID-->Should be Ticked on the Cellular number and not the email IDs
-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ---------------------------------------------------------
As soon as ticked on the phone number and tried making a call, I accepted it on my MBP and IT WORKED!!!
Also, I tried making a call from MBP using iPhone ("tried it again") it works.
No need to change anything in your MBP FaceTime preferences, no need to turn off and on FaceTime.
All this happened because I changed my FaceTime caller ID from my Phone Number to my iCloud email ID and since then the calls started getting failed.
As far as everything was working perfectly fine and stopped all of sudden after making changes on the FaceTime in your phone this method should work for you.
Give it a try.

Turning FaceTime off and on again on my iPhone worked for me when I upgraded my 5s to a 6se.
you mean iPhone 5se.
And you mean iPhone SE... Moral, If you're going to be pedantic, be absolutely correct. 👿
Either way, it still worked for me and I'm now very happy 😀
This happened to me too, was on-going for weeks, I think triggered my enabling Wi-Fi Calling on my iPad. I went into Facetime's Preferences on the Mac, and hit the "Upgrade to Wi-Fi Calling" button. After that, works like a charm.
I had the same problem. In my case I used a router as a repeater and this caused the problem. To solve this I set up the 2nd router as a separate client and now it works. Hope this helps someone.
I had the same problem. Turns out there was a permission setting on my phone that was turned off. I followed the "Setup Your iphone" instructions on the link below and it appears to be working for me.

Thanks. Worked for me too (iPhone 5C, iOS 9, OSX 10.11).
Try reset network settings on your iPhone, worked for me!
