While setting up FaceTime and logging in with my apple ID, I receive the message: "This account has no reachable addresses. Please sign in to appleid.apple.com in order to add one."
What is a reachable address? I have an appleid. Does FaceTime require you have an iPhone to have a reachable address?
MacBook Pro 13", macOS 10.15
You aren't required to have a phone.
If you sign into your Apple ID using the link below, in the first section under Reachable At, you have to have other email addresses/phone numbers listed in addition to the email address you use for your Apple ID.

Thanks for the suggestions, Eric. I called Apple Support after trying your suggestions in order. Turns out, I had been blocked by Apple (maybe a p/w entry error). They released the block and I changed my p/w and everything is peachy now. Thanks again for the help!
I tried for hours to fix this problem. It seemed to finally be resolved when I enabled iCloud to share my contacts on iCloud... then I could suddenly get FaceTime to work and all the folks that were "reachable" by FaceTime appeared. The error message was far too cryptic to even suggest this may be the problem.
You are welcome. See if anything here helps.

Thank you for your help Eric. I already have 2 other addresses listed there. a yahoo address and an .iCloud address derived from my apple id address. I still get the error. Any suggestions?
