The new iOS 8 Continuity feature lets you make and receive phone calls on your iPad, iPod touch or Mac.

How to enable/disable continuity calling on iPad and iPod touch:
- Go to Settings > FaceTime. Here you can enable or disable iPhone Cellular Calls:
How to enable/disable continuity calling on Mac OS X Yosemite:
- Note that Mac Yosemite is not publicly available yet. To enable/disable this feature, launch FaceTime then Preferences. Check or Uncheck iPhone Cellular Calls setting.
