Hi, In FaceTime and iMessage, try with only the phone number as the active part of your Apple ID. That is, on your iPhone, iPad and Mac, check or deselect the blahb...@icloud.com address, with only your phone number selected. It works on my devices that way, on my wife's devices and others that I've assisted with.

They differ in how they use the network. For iMessage SMS and FaceTime phone-call proxying, the devices just need Wi-Fi proximity and access to the same iCloud account. In my experience this part is reliable—certainly absent other iCloud issues, anyroad. Just look for the settings to set it up in the Settings app or in System Preferences. It’s not all that intuitive. The rest of Continuity, the so-called “Handoff” feature, and AirDrop and Hotspot, are in my experience (and it seems that of many others) the far more fragile part. It uses iCloud, as well as Bluetooth 4.0 Low Energy (which some hardware simply doesn’t have). Wi-Fi on Macs requires dual association and is only supported by certain adaptors, but because of a design problem in the chipsets, frequently fails. In my opinion, it’s not only not worth worrying about these features since they can generally be made up for with a bit of extra effort, but in any event they are so unreliable as to be of no real practical use. -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "MacVisionaries" group.
