User level: Level 2 (468 points)When I go to the Phone app my machine asks me to sign into Facetime. I don’t want to send or receive calls via Facetime. How can I use the phone app without the FT sign in?

Which Phone app is this, the one that came with macOS 27? The Mac uses FaceTime to carry calls, so it may ask you to sign in even if you only want regular phone calls.
If you only want calls from your iPhone, make sure the iPhone has calls on other devices allowed and is on the same Apple Account and Wi-Fi. I can't say for sure you can skip the sign-in, so check what it shows in FaceTime settings.
