How to make and receive calls on your PC

 Microsoft's Your Phone app can route photos, incoming messages, and text messages to Windows 10 PCs. Its latest feature update added something even more useful: the ability to make and receive calls on your PC without reaching for your phone. In case you need to move mobile, the app allows you to seamlessly transfer calls between your phone and PC.

It's not difficult to set things up, but there are some requirements you should be aware of before you begin the steps.

A computer (any type, desktop, laptop or ARM-based), running Windows 10 version 1803 and any Android version 7.0 phone will be required.

Download the YOUR PHONE app on your phone and PC

The app must be installed on both your Android and Windows phones in order to make them talk to one another.

• Download it for your phone from the Google Play Store
• Download the Find the Your Phone app for your PC from the Microsoft Store. It may be already installed on your computer. If so, search your list first.
• Verify that you are signed in to Microsoft accounts on your computer. You can sign in by using the Settings app's "Account" option. You won't be allowed to continue with the setup if you don't sign in.
• After the app has been installed on your device, you can open it and log in to your Microsoft account. You will need to consent to allow it to access your phone call log, contacts, media and text messages and to run in the background.

LINK YOUR PHONE & PC

• Once you have signed in to both devices, they can talk to one another. Make sure your phone and computer are connected to the same Wi Fi network. Next, launch the Your Phone app from your PC.

• You may see a dialog box asking you to choose between Android or iOS (iPhone users can only send webpages between two devices at the moment). This means you have not signed in to your account on both mobile and computer, or you forgot to log in.
• After your phone and your PC have established a connection, you will receive a persistent notification on mobile that will ask you to confirm that you are willing to allow the connection to take place. Click "Allow"
• Your phone should now appear in the Your Phone app for PC. Below your phone's image and name, you will see a dialer icon called "Calls" at its bottom. This is where you will place calls.

• First, connect your phone to your computer via Bluetooth. Although the Your Phone app offers a simplified method to dialer access, it did not work in my testing. Manually pairing the devices worked on all phones.
• If you don't know how to use Bluetooth, enable pairing mode on your Android phone. To do this, pull down the notification shade from your home screen and then long-press the Bluetooth icon for settings. If Bluetooth isn't enabled, tap "Pair new phone" or any similar option.
• Do the same thing on your computer. To access the settings for Bluetooth & Other Devices, tap the Windows key. Once you are there, tap the "Add Bluetooth or another device" button and then tap "Bluetooth" in the box.

• The same PIN should appear on your phone and computer. To authenticate the connection, tap "Connect" on both devices. (If you don't, then try again or check Microsoft's troubleshooting page.)
• Next, you will need to open the dialer section of the Your Phone app on the PC and follow the steps. You will receive another notification that requires approval. Another notification will be sent to your phone when you request access the call log. You should see the recent calls appear on your dialer screen if you have approved both of these notifications (and you won't need to repeat this process). This is a sign it's working.

• It's done! Finally! You're ready to place and receive calls with the Your Phone app on Windows 10.
