IPhone 5 and Yosemite, can not send or receive phone calls on Mac

I have latest software on iPhone 5 and Yosemite and an update on cloud, still no phone calls are displaying on my mac or txt msgs... am I missing a step? Can only users who also have iPhones with Facetime only contact me via my computer?

Hi ravanarrowood,
I had similar problems at the beginning. Bluetooth were switched on on both devices but the hands off was not working. Later I realized that iOS 8.1 was already released but my iPhone did not even notify me. Then I restored the iPhone connecting it to iTunes, installed iOS 8.1 and only after that bluetooth starting working properly and I could manage to pair both devices.
For text messages, try going to Messages --> Preferences --> Accounts --> iCloud account
You can be reached for messages at ... Add your cell phone number if it is not there already.
I could manage to receive the messages from my Mac with these settings. But still the messages are not syncing across devices but I am just receiving them from both devices. I delete a message from my iPhone in the morning and in the afternoon I re-receive it from my Mac. Interesting..

  • My phone isn't connecting to 3G and I can't send or receive phone calls or texts.

    So my phone just stopped being able to connect to 3G and stopped being able to send and receive phone calls and texts. It was working fine this morning and it shows that I have multiple bars "dots" but my 3G is reading 1x and says I can't make a connection. What should I do?

    If you have looked where James suggested and you are saying that the phone number does not appear in there at all, you can add the phone number to the iPad but you may need to sign out of Messages on the iPad AND the iPhone.
    Phone number missing on iPad or iPod touch
    If your phone number is not listed on an iPod touch or iPad, follow these steps:
    Update to the latest version of iOS.
    Verify that you're using the same Apple ID that you are using on your iPhone.
    On your iPad or iPod touch, sign out of your Apple ID in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID with FaceTime and iMessage.
    If your phone number is still not listed, follow these steps:
    Sign out of your Apple ID on all iOS devices, including your iPhone, in the following locations:
    Settings > Messages > Send & Receive. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Settings > FaceTime. Tap your Apple ID, then tap Sign Out.
    Sign in to your Apple ID on your iPhone.
    When activation is complete, your Apple ID and all verified email addresses should be visible in Settings > Messages > Receive At and also in Settings > FaceTime.
    Now sign in to your Apple ID on your other iOS devices.

  • HT1430 Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Since downloading updates for ios 6.0.1 can not send or receive mail on iPhone and iPad

    Is this on wifi or cellular data?
    Have you tried a reset? Hold down the home/power button until you see the apple logo and then release, then wait for the phone to boot back up.
    Have you gone into the email settings and making sure the password are still there?

  • Using VoIP and can not send or receive fax. I am now also having problem scanning

    I use VoIP for phone service. I can not send or receive faxes although the Fax Test Report Pass. Now I am having problem scanning. My main concern is with faxing.

    Hi,
    This won't work for analog fax. You need a normal analog telephone line to fax this way. Please check the following article:

  • HT3529 My phone bill is paid and I can't send or receive msgs and I tried to call Rogers but that doesn't even work and if it was a bill issue I could still call Rogers think it might be software but I would like to know what to do

    My phone bill is paid and I can't send or receive msgs and I tried to call Rogers but that doesn't even work and if it was a bill issue I could still call Rogers think it might be software but I would like to know what to do

    I'm sorry to learn that you are not able to make/receive calls chelseabee! (ticket number removed) results indicate that there is no issues with the network or account provisioning. Since you have already done a hard reset http://vz.to/1gBkSJc (as per your post), I recommend exploring replacement options. If your phone is within the one year manufacturers' warranty we can provide a Certified Like New replacement http://vz.to/uyYF0o as long as no physical/liquid damage exist. If your phone has sustained physical/water damage and you have insurance, you can submit a claim to the insurance company online at this link http://bit.ly/07CrqPK
