    Hello jllieblein,

     

     

    Wi-Fi calling is only available on T-Mobile. The setting can be found in Settings -> Phone, should you have T-Mobile. Otherwise, Wi-Fi calling is off.

    The steps below detail how to go about setting your iPad and iPhone up to make phone calls.

    Phone calls

    To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:

     

    1. Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later.
    2. Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
    3. Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
      This means any iOS device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.
    4. Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.

    You may also need to verify that iPhone Cellular Calls is turned on in Settings -> FaceTime.
