An iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of accessing Cellular Voice or Messaging features. An iPad with Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services.


If paired with an iPhone, the capabilities of iPad significantly broaden to include Cellular Voice and Messaging services of the iPhone - relayed to the iPad over WiFi using Apple’s continuity features.
