But making calls from your computer in Yosemite, if I understand correctly, actually uses your phone. You aren't independently making calls from your Mac if I understand correctly. So I don't think it will help you to make calls if you upgrade to Yosemite but your phone is broken. And I could be wrong but if the phone is giving you an error message and a connect to iTunes message, whatever is wrong, it is not truly bricked though I know that's small comfort since you can't use it.
