Phone calls
Make and receive phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac, as long as your iPhone and other
devices are signed in to iCloud and FaceTime with the same Apple ID. With iOS 8 or OS X
Yosemite, your iPhone needs to be on the same Wi-Fi network. With iOS 9 or OS X El Capitan, it
may not need to be on the same Wi-Fi network (services may vary according to your carrier). See

Make a phone call on your iPad, iPod touch, or Mac. Tap or click a phone number in Contacts,

Messages

as your iPhone. For more information, see .
Instant Hotspot
You can use Instant Hotspot on iPhone to provide Internet access to your other iOS devices (iOS 8 or
later) and Mac computers (OS X Yosemite or later) that are signed in to iCloud using the same
Apple ID. Instant Hotspot uses your iPhone Personal Hotspot, without you having to enter a
password or even turn on Personal Hotspot.
Use Instant Hotspot. Go to Settings > Wi-Fi on your other iOS device, then simply choose your
iPhone network under Personal Hotspots. On your Mac, choose your iPhone network from your Wi-
Fi settings.
When you’re not using using the hotspot, your devices disconnect to save battery life. For more
information see .
Note: This feature may not be available with all carriers. Additional fees may apply. Contact your
