Cellular Continuitywas introduced by Apple in iOS 8 which allows users to answer phone calls through Mac or iPad when their iPhone is away. However, this feature required iPhone, Mac or iPad in the same Wi-Fi Network.
With iOS 9, you don’t need your iPhone to be on the same network as your iPad or Mac to receive a call.
T- Mobile has come the first carrier to support cellular Continuity and it is expected that other carriers will also support this feature once iOS 9 is released to public. Find out how to enable Cellular Connectivity on your iOS 9 and El Capitan powered devices. You will be required to sign in to the same iCloud Account on all your devices.
