If it does not have a sim card, then it cannot make calls.


A sim card is what allows you to make calls.


To see if it has one and remove it follow the steps in the link I provided: Remove or switch the SIM card in your iPhone or iPad - Apple Support


If the sim tray is empty, then you need to contact the Cellular service provider you want to use to make calls with, and request they give you a sim card with your phone number and the service you are paying for with them.
