I have used up my available space, how do I buy extra minutes?

Minutes? Your iPad is not - and never can be - a substitute for a mobile phone. Your iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is incapable of accessing Cellular voice or messaging services. As such “minutes”, as relating to cellular calling features, is irrelevant.
Turning to “space”…
It is impossible to increase the amount of RAM or internal storage in your iPad - as this is fixed during manufacture; what you have is fixed for the life of your device. You can, however, subscribe to a higher tier of iCloud storage - but this is not a substitute for internal storage.
If your internal storage is full, your only option is to better manage the storage that you have - and delete unused Apps or unneeded data.
