Phone Number

I go to settings to make it so that I’m reachable at my phone number when I put the phone number in it says it sent a verification code but I can’t get the code because the number is new and there was no prior device in my possession with the same number I don’t know what to do I’ve searched it up billions of times but nothing helps.

iPad is not a phone so it doesn't have a phone number.

If you have a Cellular + Wi-Fi iPad, you can use cellular data to connect to the Internet.

The (phone) number is used by your carrier for billing purpose only.

Unless you also have an iPhone, you will not be able to make phone calls.
