Make and receive phone calls on iPad
You can make and receive calls on your iPad by relaying calls through your iPhone.
To make calls this way, you must set up FaceTime and sign in with the same Apple ID on both of your devices. (iOS 9, iPadOS 13, OS X 10.10, or later required.)
Note: Wi-Fi Calling on other devices is available with some carriers, and cellular charges may apply.
You must first set up your iPhone, and then set up your iPad.
Allow phone calls on your iPad from your iPhone
On your iPhone, go to Settings
> Cellular.If your iPhone has Dual SIM, choose a line (below Cellular Plans).
Do any of the following:
Tap Calls on Other Devices, turn on Allow Calls on Other Devices, then choose your iPad along with any other devices on which you’d like to make and receive calls.
This allows iPad and other devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID to make and receive calls when they’re nearby your iPhone and connected to Wi-Fi.
Tap Wi-Fi Calling, then turn on Add Wi-Fi Calling For Other Devices.
This allows iPad and other devices where you’re signed in with the same Apple ID to make and receive calls even when your iPhone isn’t nearby.
On your iPad, set up FaceTime and sign in with the same Apple ID that you use on your iPhone.
Go to Settings > FaceTime, then turn on FaceTime and Calls from iPhone. If you’re asked, turn on Wi-Fi calling.
Note: If you enable Wi-Fi Calling, emergency calls may be made over Wi-Fi, and your device’s location information may be used for emergency calls to aid response efforts, regardless of whether you enable Location Services. Some carriers may use the address you registered with the carrier when signing up for Wi-Fi Calling as your location.
