Facetime on Macbook not receiving calls from iPhone on Wifi

I have upgraded to Yosemite, and facetime is connected to my apple ID and the iPhone Wifi option is turned on.
I can call out from my computer using the iPhone no problem. Both the Mac and Phone are signed into the same apple ID and the telephone number is the same. So ... one way calls are working.
I can also receive calls on my Mac WHEN I am on a call from the Mac through the iPhone. I can hold and swtich, end calls etc etc ...
HOWEVER, when someone calls me on my iPhone and I am at my Mac, the Mac does NOT show the call ... my iPhone just rings over and over, no connection to the Mac ....
Something is askew .... ??

Having the exact same problem , anyone have any ideas?

Not receiving texts from iPhone contacts when I'm not connected to wifi or cell data. I can't send and receive regular SMS texts with non iMessage users but iMessage users message are not being converted to text when I don't have internet connect

I can send and receive to any non iPhone user. I can send a message as a text to an iPhone user but if I'm not connected to cellular data or wifi I do not receive messages from iPhone contacts. From what I understand these message should automatically send to me as texts instead of iMessages but since the update it's not functioning properly. Please help. I've tried turning iMessage off and I still don't receive the messages until after I reconnect to wifi.

I have the same problem! Before the upgrade, if I wasn't connected to the internet, any messages sent to me from an iphone would convert automatically to a text message. I have payg tarriff, so I turn cell data off, as it costs too much to use it. I have wifi at home and work, but if I'm out and about, I don't receive texts from iphone users until I'm on wifi. I get them ok from non iphone users. There was never any problem until ios7

Difficulty deactivating iMessages; 3 weeks later & still not receiving texts from iPhones

I recently switched to Android, and I didn't know to turn off my iMessages before. It's now been three weeks, and I'm still not receiving messages from iPhone. I went online & tried to deauthorize my past apple devices, and STILL no luck.
Any advice? I want to contact Apple, but it's absurdly expensive, apparently, if you don't have an Apple device (seriously? $19?). How long before I should start receiving iMessages if my phone has been deauthorized?

You should be able to contact Apple support to deactivate iMessage at no charge by going to the following link and then click "Other Apple ID Topics" and then "Messages and Apple ID" https://getsupport.apple.com/Issues.action

I just got a droid MAXX and I'm not receiving texts from iPhones.

ok so i just switched from an iphone after having 2 for 4 years and i got a motorola droid maxx 2 days ago. i am not receiving texts from iphone users and i dont know why. i gave verizon my phone and so i cant turn off imessage but i cleared the phone before i gave it to them. i have also changed my apple i.d. and i have deactivated all my products such as my mac book pro and my two previous iphones. this is exactly why i switched because apple has to be a CULT and make everything so complicated. please help me solve apples stupidity.

That was a asinine and catty response. I and many others have the same problem. turning off imessage is not an effective solution. I have turned off imessage, deactivated the phone with apple and wiped the phone clean. the problem persists.

I am not able to call or receive call from Iphone 4 when 3G is on

That looks like a cellular data issue, which can be resolved by contacting your phone carrier.

I have just got my new iPhone 6 and cannot receive calls. They go straight to voicemail. I don not even receive the voicemail not receiving. called verizon and they can call me back but when i tried on another phone and Skype it @didn't work>

Julz11111,
Hearing that your calls aren't going through is very worriesome and we want to help. Lets check something out. Please turn off Advanced Calling by going to Settings>Cellular>Enable LTE and then place the check mark next to Data Only. After that please turn the phone off, remove the SIM for 30 seconds, put the SIM back in, and turn the phone on. Let us know if that resolves this issue and kicks your calls into working for you.

Switched to Samsung GS5 2 months ago, still not receiving messages from iphone users

I switched to a non iphone over two months ago and ever since then I cannot receive messages from iphone users sending in imessage format. They have to turn imessage on and off to be able to text me. This has been extremely inconvenient since I need to receive these messages for work in addition to my personal life. I have tried multiple suggestions I've read about, still nothing works. It's like this is apple's way of keeping customers using their iphone instead of switching for fear of not receiving messages. They won't really fix it either when we all know technology is advanced enough to fix this. HELP.

Can’t get text messages from an iPhone - Apple Support

Not receiving texts from iPhone users

I recently got a new Samsung Galaxy S4. I registered this phone to a new number.... I did not port an existing number to the phone. Since getting the phone, I have had trouble receiving texts from iphone users - their messages will not come through on my phone unless their imessage is turned off. As you can imagine, this is quite a hassle - having to explain this problem every time I give someone my number, and several people having to change their settings every time they text me.
I've done research on this problem, and it seems that this happens when you port a number from an iphone to an android. The problem is fixed when you update your apple id account, and delete the number from the imessage service. I am concerned that my current number used to be registered to an iphone - and that the number is possibly still associated with an imessage account. I have no way of changing this, so I'm stuck.
I understand that this may be a problem that only Apple can fix, but any advice you can give me would be greatly appreciated.

Hello annaesharon, I know that receiving all of your text messages are important, indeed! Sorry to learn that you've been missing many of yours due to this. Thanks for reaching out to us - it's my pleasure to help.
The good news is that you are absolutely on the right track. The best way to take care of this is to ensure the phone number is un registered with Apple/iMessage. You mentioned that this is a brand new phone number for you, so we would also like the opportunity to check a few things on your line as well. Do you receive any type of alert or error message when the iPhone text try to come through? Which application are you using, primarily, to send/receive text messages. Let us know! We want to help get to the bottom of this for you.

Switched from iphone to galaxy - now not receiving texts from iphone users

Switched from iphone to galaxy for multiple reasons. Still keeping my iPad and wanted to use my iphone for music. Now I am not receiving texts, apparently imessages, from iphone users - there is no notification either way that a message was not received. So iphone users think I have received a text when I haven't. This makes me angry with Apple as there have been medical issues in our family and I have not been receiving important communication. I also have clients I have not received texts from. My understanding is I will have to delete my iphone from my apple account completely, but then will not be able to use it at all for itunes or anything else.

If you still have the iPhone, go to Settings and turn off iMessage. If you don't have the phone or if that doesn't solve the problem, contact Apple Support and request that they deactivate iMessage. https://www.apple.com/support/appleid/contact/

ICal on MacBook Pro will not receive dates from iPhone, but iPhone will receive dates from iCal on MacBook

I recently got a MacBook Pro after having an iPhone and iPad since last year. I have iCloud set up on all devices to share calendar dates. However, when I input an event on iCal on the MacBook everything is fine and the event shows up on my iPhone and iPad calendars, but when I input an appointment on my iPhone, it will not update to the iCal on MacBook.
Help please?

First check that all your settings are correct, that calendar syncing is checked on all devices (system preferences > iCloud on a mac and settings > iCloud on a iPhone, iPad or iPod).
Make sure the calendars you are using are in your 'iCloud' account and not an 'On My Mac', 'On My Phone' or other non iCloud account (you can do this by clicking/tapping the calendar button in the top left corner of the application ), non iCloud calendars will not sync.
If you are sure that everything is set up correctly and your calendars are in the iCloud account, you might try unchecking calendar syncing in the iCloud settings, restarting your device and then re-enabling calendar syncing settings.

FaceTime Audio Issue? Every call from iPhone 6 to iPhone 6 uses FaceTime Audio

I have a Iphone 6. My wife has a iPhone 6. We have used FaceTime Audio a few times in the past to connect when I was traveling internationally and / or no reception but I had wifi. My problem is now EVERY call is connecting us via FaceTime Audio despite NOT attempting to connect that way. In both our contacts I have changed the phone number field labeled iPhone to the field labeled mobile From the one labeled iPhone. We are both aware on how to make a FaceTime Video and / or Audio call and are NOT doing it that way. Pretty strange. Nothing against FaceTime audio but I would prefer to make the decision on when to connect that way and when to not. Any help is appreciated.
Thanks

thanks for the suggestion unfortunately that did not work. Deleated each others contacts and made a NEW one with a Variant of each others names so that it was completely new entry. Same thing. Every call is FaceTime audio. I am really perplexed.

Galaxy s5 not receiving messages from iphone users

Ok so sorry about the long question but I just bought a galaxy s5 to replace my iphone 4s and im having trouble getting messages from iphone users. I tried turning off imessage, turned off find my iphone, resetting the device completely, and even created a new apple id but nothing has worked in the past 6 hours. The only thing I have left is to contact apple support but I really dont want to spend $20 to talk to someone if I dont have to... Any help at this point will be apprectiated. Thanks

At the risk of repeating some information, I'm leaving a full message here because I found many of the suggestions above to be vague and confusing. This is a step by step of the call that I just put in to Apple to fix this issue with Samsung S5 Galaxies not getting text messages from iPhones. This process should only be necessary if you no longer have possession of your iPhone; if you do, it seems from messages above you can go into your iPhone's settings and turn off iMessage yourself.
NOTE: According to Victoria, the Apple rep who was familiar with the problem and (supposedly, within the next half hour to 24 hours) fixed the problem, iPhone users who have updated to IOS 7.1.1 --not just 7.1, but the 7.1.1 specifically -- will not have this issue, as 7.1.1 fixed the issue causing this disconnect. However, any iPhone user operating under 7.1 or previous systems will not be able to send an S5 Galaxy user a text without an elaborate and individualized process to remove the former iPhone user's iMessage link. So, here's what I did:
1. Called Apple Support at 800-694-7466 (I could not find the section headings/descriptions mentioned by FoxFifth above on the website listed; the sections did not match anything on the page linked to that supplied url)
2. Followed the prompts, which involved giving my phone number (the one now linked to my Galaxy S5 but formerly to my iPhone 4s) and verbally requesting a representative at the appropriate time after the appropriate prompt. NOTE: disregard the warning about a $19 one-time service charge; it will not apply once you speak to someone.
3. Wait for a rep.
4. When the rep answers, say, "I just upgraded from my iPhone (4, 4s, 5, etc.) to a Samsung Galaxy S5 and can no longer receive texts from other iPhone users. I found online that this is because my iMessage is still turned on and I need you to deactivate my iMessage that automatically sends other iPhone users' messages to that old phone, which I no longer have."
5. The rep, who -- if they are anything like Victoria, who said she's done this "quite a lot today, actually" -- will recognize your issue. The rep will send you a text message to your new device, which contains an alphanumeric code that you must read back to the rep to authenticate it. At that time, the rep will put in your iMessage deactivation request; it should (here's fingers crossed) become active within 24 (some users here say 48, so be patient) hours, at which time the problem should disappear.
I hope this is detailed enough to help everyone else out there. Based on the Apple rep's familiarity with my problem, I'm hopeful the process will work as promised. I will update when I know for sure after a day or two that it is (or isn't) working.

Galaxy Nexus - not receiving texts from iPhone 4s

This morning, my girlfriend sent me a text from her iPhone 4s, synced to my computer with her Apple account, on the same contract, to my Galaxy Nexus. I kept getting texts from her, and every text I sent appeared to have sent, but she didn't get a single one from me after her first text this morning. The messaging web app gives me a "failed" error with a delivery status of "319066302769." Both phones have messaged each other fine since the day we signed the contract until today, and we've both been text messaging other people perfectly fine. My phone number has never been associated with an activated iOS device on Verizon or any other carrier. In fact, I've never owned an activated iOS device on any smartphone plan (except in college, I had a loaner iPod touch for iOS development, registered to my school email on a different computer, a loaner Macbook Pro). Every thing I found on Google is the opposite, Android users unable to receive texts from iOS users. Thanks for any help in advance

Hi xg33kx,
That is definitely an unusual situation. I'm sure it's frustrating that it isn't working when you need it. Do either of you have trouble with texting anyone else? Try turning off Wi-Fi on both devices, and see if the problem persists or continues when using only the mobile network. Please keep us updated with this situation so we can help to resolve!
Thank you,
