MacBook Pro dropping calls when handing off from iPhone

[DC41]

For the last few weeks my MacBook Pro M1 Max has been dropping calls transferred to it from my iPhone 13 Pro. It's inconsistent. I thought Messages might be causing it, so I made sure it was closed before attempting the transfer. It seemed to work, but today it started again. This time with Messages closed, so I don't know what the problem is.

I dial the call, transfer it to the MacBook, the interface appears for a split second, and then the call is dropped. Anyone have some suggestions?

Happens all the time, but inconsistently, to me. Did you find a solution? One call will work fine, and then the next call won't. But once a certain phone number won't transfer, it never will. Drives me crazy!

I found my problem with the help of ExpressVPN. It was the ExpressVPN client I'm running on my MacBook Pro Max. It has a setting in Preferences: "Network Lock: Stop all internet traffic if the VPN disconnects unexpectedly." That needs to be turned off.

If you're not using ExpressVPN, you might want to investigate other apps that have some say in network management. Sorry I can't be of more help. Good Luck!

This happens to me too. No 3rd party VPN installed. Anyone else having problems?
