No. No iPad has a cellular radio, so no iPad is capable of making or receiving calls on it's own, even a cellular iPad. Cellular on iPad is for data only, when you can't access Wifi.

An iPad is not a Cellular phone. An iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of accessing Cellular Voice or Messaging features. Any 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.
