An iPad has no cellular voice or text capabilities.


If you have added a DataSIM and Cellular plan to a WiFi+Cellular model of iPad, the number associated with the SIM card is used solely by your carrier to identify your account for billing purposes. This number is not used for making calls or sending messages.
