I just hit the call with IPhone option, then it sits there like a stupid
dork, and comes up and says call failed.

Hi,
What kind of router are you using? It's possible that if you have specific
Firewalls enabled that this is restricting continuity features. Also, are
you getting any notifications when attempting to enable continuity between
devices. Usually, for Text Message forwarding and such, notifications are
sent between devices if it takes. That is, a confirmation dialog is sent to
allow/disallow the continuity connection. If this confirmation is not
sent/received, then the relationship is not approved, thus continuity is not
actually enabled.

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.

There are really two separate components to “Continuity”, but both require
iCloud. 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.
