iPhone 6 Without FaceTime, Not receiving calls on Mac

[sajinseethi]

Hi,

I'm from the UAE and FaceTime is blocked here by the Government. When Apple sells iPhone here, they remove the FaceTime app from the iPhone(sucks right ?, I know !!). Anyway, Im not able to make calls from Yosemite as its says, "Your iPhone is not configured to make calls using Mac.". I can't receive sms on Mac either.

Handoff is working fine one way at the moment. A mail or message I start on iPhone is immediately showing up on Mac, but not vice versa. Thanks.

Why would your government block FaceTime?

Government has blocked all VoIP services here. Viber, FaceTime and Skype doesn't work here. Recently they unblocked Skype on WiFi though.

Interesting thing is, Yosemite beta had the support for handling sms. Now that's not there too.
