    I installed Yosemite on my MacBook Air today and for a while I was able to receive calls from my iPhone 6 through my MacBook. Now it's not working. I thought that this feature wouldn't be available until I was able to upgrade to iOS 8.1 on Monday so I was shocked to be able to hear the call and see the widget on my MacBook screen. Should this be working already? Or was this just some kind of mistake? If this feature should be enabled already then why isn't it working anymore?

    It's not working anymore. It worked for a while but now it can't get the calls to show upon my MacBook.

    So how do we do that? What are the steps? I just happened to be sitting by my computer when a call came in.

    Never mind. I found this article that explains it all. It's systemwide in Yosemite.

    The FaceTime audio calls and the interconnectivity between that and your iPhone has been there since iOS 8. The SMS messaging in OS X has been pulled from 8.x beta (and subsequently 8.0.2). The SMS on OS X is the piece that is waiting on iOS 8.1.

    For calls (and soon SMS) to work, both devices must be on the same wifi network, and be logged into FaceTime and iMessage with the same AppleID/iCloud account.
