Hello Iamsmithies92,


This page can help out with providing some information and steps that may help to get that FaceTime audio call issue resolved: If you can't make or receive a FaceTime call on your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


* FaceTime and FaceTime audio calling might not be available for all countries, regions, or carriers.
* Call forwarding isn't available with FaceTime.
* A FaceTime call can't be switched into a phone call or a FaceTime audio call. To do this, end the current call and then make a new call.
* Make sure there isn't a FaceTime outage.


Update your FaceTime settings after you set up a new device
If you experience issues with receiving a FaceTime call after set up, update your device with the following steps:
1. Update your device to the latest version of iOS or iPadOS if needed.
2. In the Settings app, tap Cellular. Make sure that your phone line turned on. If you use multiple SIMs, make sure that the phone number you want to use is selected and turned on.
3. In the Settings app, tap FaceTime. Turn FaceTime off and then back on.
4. Tap the phone number that you want to use with FaceTime.
If you have issues with Messages after you set up a new device, you can also update your Messages settings.


Cheers.
