I am setting up my mom's new iPad (7th generation) and I cannot get her iPhone to pair with the iPad. It tells me that the "pairing unsuccessful iPad not supported". My mom's phone is, I believe an iPhone 5 SE. I'm not sure. When I look it up, it only says "SE". Is the phone too old to pair with the iPad or am I missing something to set this up. One of the reasons we got the iPad was so she can FaceTime and use it for texting.
iPad, iOS 13
Bluetooth pairing in the traditional sense is not possible or required for what you are trying to do. See below.

Have you followed correct setup for text forwarding on the corresponding iPhone? Both the iPhone and iPad must be logged to iCloud and Messages with the same AppleID on both devices.
Yes this is exactly what I'm trying to do but it's not working. For example, the texting is going through her email instead of her phone number. Her contacts have not uploaded into the iPad. I cannot FaceTime either.
You are going about everything all wrong and you need to follow all of LotusPilot’s advice and instructions.
