So I am taking some time to learn bash commands in terminal on a Mac, using Mac OS Big Sur. I am trying to make a phone call from the terminal. I know I could do this from the FaceTime or messages app, but I am doing this in the interest of learning commands in the terminal.
here's my code:
when I hit enter, the phone call icon comes up in the corner of my screen and asks me to press "call" to complete the call, or "cancel". when I hit call, it says "1800phonenumber" unavailable. (obviously not the real number)
So I looked it up online and tried a few things in my settings - I enabled wifi calling on my phone. It seems like my face time account and iCloud accounts are signed in under the same name. I made sure my phone and laptop were on the same network.
all of this and I still cant seem to make a connection for the actual phone call. what should I do?
here's my code:
Code:
open "tel://+1800phonenumber"
