Would I be able to use eSim with my I Phone and I pad using the same number for both?

May I use an e-sim and the same number to link these two devices to my I Phone number?

iPad, iPadOS 16

If you want to use cellular data on your iPad, it will need its own SIM. It cannot share a SIM with your phone. And, while iPad SIMS do have a mobile number associated with them, it's for billing purposes only and cannot be used for calls or texting.


You can link your iPad and iPhone together, however.
