FaceTime works with other FaceTime users through the internet. If you call someone using FaceTime, you don't need your iPhone at all. It's like Skype calling, if you're familiar with that.
If you want, though, you can also make regular phone calls with FaceTime. This requires your iPhone to be nearby. Some carriers offer wifi calling, which lets you use a Mac, iPad or other device to make regular phone calls without your iPhone present. Ask your carrier about wifi calling; if you have it, turn it on in iPhone settings > Phone, then your other Apple devices should ask you if you want to use it on them as well. -- Alex Hall > On Dec 2, 2017, at 05:53, andy <[email protected]> wrote: > > Hi all. > > I've loads of questions concerning this topic, so rather than wright a huge > message, I'll try to deal with each in turn. > > My Macbook 2015 has facebook on it. > > I have a great book titled "Janet Ingber - Everything You Need to Know to Use > the Mac" and I'm using this to learn how to use both my Macbook and my Imack > 27. > > Concerning facetime on the Macbook.
