User level: Level 1 (6 points)How can I reconnect my phone to my laptop to get texts and phone calls. I have a MacBook Air and Apple 13 phone. All was working until I lost WiFi for a month. Does no longer sync. Thank you.

Make sure both devices have internet access and are logged in to the same Apple Account, then on the iPhone go to Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Phone ➜ Calls on other Devices and toggle it off, wait 10 or 20 seconds and toggle it back on. Make sure your Mac is enabled in the list of devices there.
click here ➜ Use iPhone to allow calls and text messages on your iPad and Mac - Apple Support
For Messages, make sure your Mac is enabled in Settings ➜ Apps ➜ Messages ➜ Text Message forwarding.
