How to make phone calls on Windows
After your Android phone is paired with the Windows PC, it’s now time to see how to make phone calls.
- Within the Your Phone app on Windows, tap on theย Keypad icon present on the left bar.
- If you haveย Focus Assistย enabled on the Windows PC, you have to disable it.
- You should see a keypad along with the option to search for contacts.
- Enter the phone number or simply search for the contact you wish to call.
- Click on theย Callย icon to place the call.

In our brief testing, the entire setup process was free from any issues. And there were no dropped calls or any disturbances worth mentioning. We’d recommend using the Your Phone app to make phone calls on Windows to anyone who works on a PC for long hours.
