You cannot add a number to an iPad for making or receiving calls or sending or receiving messages directly.


You can connect the iPad to an iPhone that holds said number for iMessage and FaceTime and can then forward all messages and calls to the iPad.


See here: link-> Make and receive calls on your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

and here: link-> How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support


Outside of that, and without an attached iPhone, the iPad can only place and receive FaceTime calls and send and receive messages to its Apple ID or other added email address.


The iPad cannot be used as a standalone phone.
