MacBookPro Cannot Make/Receive Phone Calls

Hello,
My MacBookPro (early 2013 Retina) cannot make or receive phone calls. I'm on the same wifi network, my bluetooth is on, I can send/receive texts and SMS, I have the most recent software upgrades, but I can't make calls. As of right now when I try it says "Your iPhone and Mac must be on the same Wi-Fi network".
The same thing is happening with my iPad.
In FaceTime under "iPhone Cellular Calls" I've tried to move the slider over to the right to allow calls on MacBookPro and iPad, but it says "Cannot Turn on iPhone Cellular Calls- FaceTime and iCloud must be signed in to same Apple ID to use iPhone Cellular Calls". THEY ALL ARE ON THE SAME APPLE ID!!!
IT MAKES NO SENSE!!!
I am actually having issues with handoff JUST on my MacBookPro if that is any sort of useful information. It works just fine on iPhone and iPad.

Cannot make Continuity phone calls from Mac OS X Yosemite beta 10.10.3

Hi, I don't remember which beta update it was, but perhaps one or two after the initial beta, Continuity is not working for me any longer. I always receive a "is unavailable" error when trying to make audio calls. I can still send SMS messages from my Mac. I'm curious if other owners are experiencing typical behavior from this beta version? I'm running v10.10.3. Thanks,

Thanks for the reminder. So in regards to the official version, I solved the problem. For whatever reason, the “iPhone Cellular Calls" option became unchecked. This is found under the FaceTime app, go to FaceTime > Preferences and turn on “iPhone Cellular Calls". Back in business again...

Since updating iPhone 4 to iOS5, cannot make/receive calls

Since updating to iOS5, I have problems with calling and receiving calls, incuding sending and receiving text messages. Those who try to call me say my phone rings but I do not hear or see anything, my phone is just on homescreen. Can anyone help?????

Hello;
After I have updated to IOS5 my 3GS which always worked very well has been a hassle.
All in the phone works exept that I can't make calls - can you believe m frustration of having a phone wich does-it all exept make/receive phone calls :-(((((
After the update was working fine for a few days. Suddenly after many of my friends told me that always when they call me the calls goes to no where - then I've tried to mke a phone call and guess what..."call failed" message - I have tried all:
I have already restored to factory settings - it doesn't worked
I have re-installed the update (IOS5) - it doesn't worked
I have tried a few tricks I read in another forum (turned-off 3G, turned-off location services, turned-off call waiting, turned-off wi-fi, I have reset network settings a hundred times)I have set manually date&time,) I have tried all things which I believe aren't related to the probelm and nothing works
I have change the SIM card to other operators and - IT DOESN'T WORK...!
I have even done the DFU restore... nothing..!!
I can't express my frustration.... I am an apple lover as I have all gadgets but what is the sense if I can't get help in this issue so basic as phone making phone calls...! I have called customer service and they have no idea what is the problem...!!
please somebody help me...!!!
Cheers..!

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore. I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

Please help after updating my iphone 4 to ios 5.01 I cannot make phone calls or receive phone calls anymore, please help, I am so annoyed first battery and now can't make calls!

The same thing is happening with my wife's iPhone 4 and we can't figure it out. When placing a call, the screen freezes and she needs to restart the entire phone.
She upgraded to 5.01 this morning over the air while it was plugged in. Immediately afterwards, this problem started happening. We've tried restarting the phone several times and plugged in to iTunes but there's nothing she can do do to fix it.
Any help is greatly appreciated!

Cannot make or receive phone calls

My iphone 3 works great on internet & texting. But phone does not make or receive calls. If I get a voicemail All I hear is "air"; same if I make a phone call.

Hi maxnh1,
make sure that you have no net-issues by testing your SIM-Card in another device. If it works fine, most probably your iPhone is the troublemaker, if the cars is not working in the other cell-phone ... well, you guess what .

I am able to receive phone calls on my iPad air 2. But, I can not make any phone calls. I am using an iPhone 6. I have set up both as required. What am I overlooking?

Hi Bo S.,
Welcome to the Apple Support Communities!
I understand that you cannot make an outgoing call using your iPad. Included below are the instructions for using Continuity to make calls from your iPad. If you are set up correctly and still are unable to make a call after following the information in the article, please let me know at what point in the process the failure happens and what happens at that point.

Unable to make or receive phone calls on iPhone 3G

I just returned from traveling; during my trip, the phone started searching for a network, which it has never done repeatedly, like it is now. Since yesterday I have not been able to receive or make calls! Very frustrating, esp. since I was traveling into a volatile weather situation. At any rate, internet, text messaging and email are working fine. HELP!

Unable to make or receive phone calls; searching for service.

Last night my iPhone 4 started constantly searching for service. I would get full bars in 3G then go to searching, no service, then back to full bars. It does this constantly. My battery drained by 50% within an hour. Any call I try to make instantly drops; I can't receive phone calls (or voicemails) and I can't send or receive texts unless I'm in WiFi. This just started last night. Any help?

The Basic Troubleshooting Steps are:
Restart.. Reset.. Restore from Backup.. Restore as New...
Try this First... You will Not Lose Any Data...
Turn the Phone Off... ( if it isn’t already )
Press and Hold the Sleep/Wake Button and the Home Button at the Same Time...
Wait for the Apple logo to Appear and then Disappear...
Usually takes about 15 - 20 Seconds... (But can take Longer...)
Release the Buttons...
Turn the Phone On...
If you cannot Resolve your Issue... Then a Restore would be the way to go...

I have an iPhone 5c that was purchased 10 months ago,, suddenly i can no longer make or receive phone calls, send text messages and the time is always wrong

I have an iPhone 5s that no longer makes nor receives phone call, the time will never stay corrected. Anyone with any thoughts?

samjohns146,
Making sure you can use your phone when you need it is certainly a concern of every consumer. I am sorry to hear you are having trouble with your phone but you have reached the right place for assistance. Has your phone completed any recent software updates at all? Let's try resetting the network settings http://vz.to/1ovdCBD to see if that resolves the issue. Please keep us posted on the outcome.

I am traveling in Chile, South America. I purchased an Entel sym card and I can make and receive phone calls, but the internet only works on WiFi. Do I need to region unlock or what? I willl only be here for A month and a half so I don't want to buy a phone. Any suggestions?

Most of the current Apple Intel based computers are comparable in CPU speed. I don't think it is so much the model of laptop as it is the memory, and storage capacity of the machine. If you are going to use FCP on a regular basis, perhaps as a professional or semi-professional, then you should think about the maximum memory and a very large capacity internal disk drive. For instance, one hour of finished compressed video will take up about 1.5 to 2Gbytes of disk space. If you add up the raw footage and still imagery and audio, you'll use up your disk drive capacity real quick. So a hard disk on the order of 750Gbytes @ 7200rpms might be good for video editing. 5400RPMs might be slow to rendering times. Rendering a video might take up a lot of memory so more memory is better e.g. 8Gbytes.
As a rule of thumb, once you get to about 80% of your disk drive or memory you'll see degradation of performance.
You can check out macsales.com. THey have a menu system that will allow you to pick and choose from various alternatives. BTW, it's been said that although Macs are typically spec'd at a certain memory size, macsales.com found that Apple computers will actually support higher memory levels. That is, if 4Gbytes are spec'd, some machines support 6Gbytes. macsales.com will provide the guidance for you.
You might also consider buying an external disk e.g. 500Gbytes to carry around with you for back-up or transport to another machine.

Why can't i make or receive phone calls on my new iphone 4

I received my i-phone 4 in the mail yesterday. Never had a "smart" o\phone before. My husband plugged it in to the pc to charge while I was at work, I think he also connected it to our wifi. When I got home from work, I spent the next little while setting up things like the wallpaper, alarms I need throughout each workday, and downloading a couple of songs and an app or two. I placed my first facetime calls, which went quite smoothly. Thne I tried to make a plain old call...instantly the screen read "call failed." And that's what keeps happening. I tried calling my cell from the home number and it goes straight to voicemail as though my phone weren't even on. So what's the deal? I can surf, and download, and facetime, but I can't make a phone call from my phone?

That would be a question for your carrier.
