I can’t see the phone menu on my iPad what can I do?

An iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of directly accessing Cellular Voice or Messaging features. An iPad with Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services. An iPad is not, and can never be, a standalone substitute for an iPhone. 

However, If paired with an iPhone, the capabilities of iPad significantly broaden to include access to Cellular Voice and Messaging services of the associated iPhone - relayed to the iPad over WiFi using Apple’s continuity features. For the most part, an iPad using Continuity is able to access Cellular calling features, of the iPhone, when both the iPad an iPhone are in close physical proximity and are connected to the same WiFi network - but this is not the end of the story.

Now, if your both your Cellular Carrier and your calling plan support WiFi Calling, your iPad can make and receive calls independently of the iPhone - even when the iPhone is switched off, elsewhere, or using a different WiFi network. Not all carriers support full WiFi calling - and many Carrier representatives don’t technically understand or acknowledge its existence.

More information about Continuity and the relevant Cellular services can be found here:

Continuity

SMS/MMS Messaging

WiFi Calling

When correctly configured, the iPad FaceTime App provides access to Cellular Voice Calling features - whilst Messages supports SMS/MMS messaging services.

So, in conclusion, if your own Cellular Carrier and tariff support WiFi Calling, it is theoretically possible to configure WiFi Calling service for your iPad. After WiFi Calling is enabled and configured, your iPad can continue to make and receive cellular calls independently of your iPhone whilst connected to a WiFi network.

I hope this information and clarification is helpful in understanding the capabilities of both your iPad - and if you have one, your iPhone.

Nothing.

iPads are not iPhones/smart phones.

There is no Dialer app on iPads.

The cellular version feature of iPads is for cellular data usage ONLY. Not for making cellular phone calls.

You need an iPhone or any smart phone to make cellular calls and to pair an iPad to, to be able to make and receive calls, from an iPhone or smart phone, from your iPad.

Sorry.

Phone menu? an iPad is not a telephone.
