Can you make phone calls with the iPad?

Many users wonder whether they can make phone calls with the iPad. Especially when the smartphone is hardly used anyway, it would of course be very convenient to make calls directly via the tablet. Since an iPad can also hold a SIM card, the assumption is obvious. But how does it really look like?

Making phone calls with the iPad: Here's the current status

It is not yet possible to make calls using only the iPad. Calls are displayed on the iPad, but diverted to the associated iPhone.

1. Currently, the function of making calls on the tablet is only possible with Samsung devices.
2. On the iPad, an iPhone can be paired, but calls are diverted to the smartphone and can only be made there.
3. Also, both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network for this to happen communication.

How you can still make calls with the iPad

1. Even if no calls to the mobile network are possible, you can use FaceTime to call contacts directly via the iPad.
2. To do this, however, you must be logged in on both devices with the same Apple ID.
3. Ebenfalls müssen sich beide Geräte im gleichen WLAN-Netzwerk befinden.
4. Auf dem iPad wechseln Sie in die Einstellungen und aktivieren bei FaceTime „Anrufe vom iPhone“.
5. Die gleiche Funktion muss noch auf dem iPhone aktiviert werden, damit Sie nur mit dem iPad Anrufe tätigen können.
