Can Apple iPad Make Calls?

Yes, your iPad can indeed make and receive phone calls, thanks to Apple’s Continuity features. Here’s how you can set it up and use it:

  1. Requirements:

    • You’ll need an iPad running iOS 9 or later.
    • An iPhone (since the iPad relies on it for calls).

  2. Setting Up:

    • Ensure both your iPhone and iPad are signed in with the same Apple ID.
    • Set up FaceTime on both devices.
    • On your iPhone, go to Settings > Cellular:
      • Enable “Calls on Other Devices” and select your iPad.
      • Turn on Wi-Fi Calling and add Wi-Fi Calling for other devices.
    • On your iPad, go to Settings > FaceTime:
      • Turn on FaceTime and “Calls from iPhone.”

  3. Making Calls:

    • Open the Contacts app on your iPad.
    • Tap a contact’s name or phone number.
    • Alternatively, open FaceTime and enter a contact or number.
    • Tap the blue “call” button to make the call.

  4. Receiving Calls:

    • When someone calls your iPhone, your iPad will also ring.
    • Swipe or tap the notification on your iPad to answer or ignore the call.

Remember that Wi-Fi Calling is essential for this feature, and it may not be available with all carriers. Cellular charges may apply if you’re not using Wi-Fi. Now you’re all set to use your iPad to make calls! 📱👍
