One of the advantages of the Apple ecosystem is how interconnected all of its devices are. And, that includes being able to make a phone call on your Apple computer using your iPhone’s phone line. That way, you can leave that phone charging and still check in with your family.
Of course, there are some limitations. While you don’t need the absolute best iPhone or one of the best MacBook and Macs, you do need an iPhone with iOS 8.1 or later and an Apple computer with OS X Yosemite. If you want to do the same on an iPad, you need iPadOS 8 or later. On top of that, you need to make sure your carrier allows Wi-Fi calling. And, even if you don’t touch that phone, it still needs to be near the computer.
