After installing sonoma, I tried to make a facetime call. I get a message
"Your iPhone must use the same iCloud and FaceTime account".

I don't have an iPhone.

I have no idea why it's saying what it's saying. FaceTime from a Mac is
perfectly possible. <https://support.apple.com/en-gb/102215>

Maybe a log out and log back into your iCloud account on the Mac will
reset things?
