I am on DP3. I came back home and my Mac had the prompt up ringing and waiting for me accept or decline the call. Problem is I got a phone call at the store. I don't understand how my Mac would think to answer the phone when I was not even on the WiFi Network. I know this stuff works thru iCloud but I assume it would know if I am not on WiFi. Any idea why this would happen?

Yeah theres a few of these unfinished bits and pieces. My missed call on my iPhone went to my iPad and I couldn't make it stop ringing. Anyway, I was able use the iPad to make a phone call :)

Same here. Received a call in a conference room. iPad Air in my office, no wifi connection. Both on iOS 8 beta 3. Arrived home 9 miles away. Both my early 2011 MBP running Yosemite DP3 and iPad mini iOS 8 beta 3 had been ringing all day. Didn't think my MBP could take calls. Thought the Continutiy/handoff features required bluetooth LE 4.0. I have a new card ordered to give it BT LE 4.

Continuity (SMS and calling) will work on iPad 2 and up, and old macs as well. It's Handoff that is requiring BT LE.
