I just updated to 10.13.2. After updating, I made a subsequent call on my iPhone (running iOS 11.2) and I noticed that my Mac is now listed as an audio device during the call in addition to the standard "iPhone" and "Speaker". I tapped on my Mac from the menu thinking that perhaps the audio would be routed to the bluetooth headphones that I'm currently using for audio input and output on my Mac, but I didn't hear anything through the headphones.

Anybody know why my Mac is suddenly showing up as an audio option during calls on my iPhone?

That's a new feature with iOS 11.2 and macOS 10.13.2. You can now route the phone calls between your devices. It works fine for me on my Mac. Try restarting and reconnecting your headphones
 
I was never logged into FaceTime.

When I do log in and then uncheck the Calls From iPhone, it still does not make a difference...MacPro still shows up.
 
Thanks...that has been turned off as is handoff and WiFi Calling.

I turned off Wi-Fi, Bluetooth and still no difference. The only way it goes away is if iCloud is completely logged out (no iCloud services.

I also signed out of Messages...no difference.

Driving in today, once again, even when I was miles away from my MacPro, it shows up!
 
Okay...I think I figured it out:

Under Celluar > Wi-Fi Calling (I had it turned off completely), you need to turn it on and then turn off all of the devices there and leave the Wi-Fi Calling setting "On."

Apparently, turning the option off completely does not work.
