Hallo!
I’m from Germany, but the last month i lived in Napoli, Italia. There was taken my old Iphone. I thought, i buy me a new Iphone con Dual Sim and use Esim (My Handycontract is from Germany). I have a Ipad too, and theire i use an esim with the same contrakt, but this ipad is not able to get the sms from my provider, with the qr-code to activate my contrakt on my new iphone.
How i can make it?
Thanks!
iPad Pro, iPadOS 14
An iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of directly accessing Cellular Voice or SMS/MMS Messaging features. An iPad with either WiFi or Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services. An iPad is not, and can never be, a standalone substitute for an iPhone. If you have added a DataSIM and Cellular plan to a WiFi+Cellular model of iPad, the number associated with the SIM card is only used to identify your account for billing purposes. This number is not used for making calls or sending messages.
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.
More information about Continuity and the relevant Cellular services can be found here:
Continuity
Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Apple Watch – Apple Support
SMS/MMS Messaging
WiFi Calling
Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling – Apple Support
If you have an iPhone - and both iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID, to send SMS/MMS messages from your iPad you must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone...
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
To be clear, without an iPhone, iPad cannot access Cellular SMS/MMS messaging.
If you have added a DataSIM and Cellular plan to a WiFi+Cellular model of iPad, you can only access cellular data - not SMS. The number associated with the SIM card is only used to identify your account for billing purposes. This number is not used for making calls or sending messages.
