I'll see what Google finds.

There isn't much to making it happen whether you are on the Mac or the iPad.
  • Assuming the iPhone number is associated with an Apple ID and
  • That same Apple ID is associated with an iPad and or an iPhone
  • To place a call on the iPad or Mac, open Contacts
  • Find the phone number and touch/click on the phone icon
To receive a call depends in part on Notification Settings but in general when the phone rings you simply touch/click the Message Notification banner or alert (which contains the caller-id) and there you are.
  • The mistake I make too often is in the window that pops up there is a red phone icon and I am always tempted to touch it which terminates the call.


  • If we knew what it was we were doing, it wouldn't be called research, would it?
