Simon, It's just always worked for me. I wonder if you're pressing a different area of the button on the ear-buds? I press the centre of the buttons, the area where you'd play/pause/skip. On the iPhone itself, if you press the up or down volume while a call is coming in, then it will silence the ringer, press the button a second time and the call will be sent directly to VoiceMail. This also works with the Lock button. So, keeping that in mind, I choose to press the centre button of the ear-buds as opposed to the up/down volume buttons.
I will test that later today if I get a chance. Later...

Hi, Yes, if you're using your Apple ear-buds, you can talk just like you do with an iPhone or iPad. I haven't been able to answer the call by pressing the button on the ear-bus though like you can when connected to the iPhone. Later...

So because the Mac has no phone app per se, all calls will come though Facetime? I assume if I have a headset connected, the audio will come through that. I will volunteer a friend to help me with this so I am better prepared. Thanks much, your tips will certainly prove useful. >From E.T.'s Keyboard...

VO-space on this button and the call is on speaker phone through your Mac. If you prefer, you can hit the tab-key a couple of times and the Accept button should gain focus, after which you can simply hit the space-bar to answer the call. HTH. Later...

I need to work with that as I do not intercept calls often and when one does come in, I am caught off guard with the flurry of alerts on the Mac. How best to handle that? Thanks.
