I have the 2017 12" MacBook. Currently running Catalina. I also have the iPhone 12 mini. On the mini I try to enable calls on other devices and it says it can't. It's telling me other devices need to use the same iCloud etc.

On my MacBook I tried to make a call and it says I needed to enable it on the phone. However I have been sitting here texting people with my MacBook all morning and have also done a FaceTime call. If I'm able to use those two functions in MacOS wouldn't that mean I have everything setup correctly?

I've had this working in the past and my MacBook isn't my main computer. I generally use a newer Thinkpad for most work stuff but take the MacBook when I'm traveling a lot. In the past this was a set and forget kind of thing so it's been forever since I've had to set anything up. Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Both the iPhone and the MacBook are on the same wifi network as well.
