I’ll just explain it again to avoid any confusion. FaceTime can now be used to dial out - make calls - and answer - receive calls - from your iPhone if its on the same Wi-Fi network as your Mac, the sound from your iPhone goes through your Mac so - instead of listening to your iPhones hands free speaker or the receiver speaker - you can hook up your favourite headset to your computer.
