Transfer from Samsung phone to Apple iPad

I am giving my sister a new 2021 ipad 9th generation. She will never know how to set up her iPad, a (senior, zero technical savy). Currently she has a Samsung Galaxy phone which she only has ever used to play casino games, emailing and taking photos. Nothing else. Never has backed up anything, she doesnt know what that even means. she does not have a PC, either. Question: Can you recommend who, or where, I can refer her to, so that they will do the transferring over from Samsung phone to her brand new Apple iPad for her.

iPad, iPadOS 16

This Apple Support page provides information about transferring data from an Android device (such as a Sumsung phone) to an iPad:

You should note that an iPad is not a replacement for a mobile phone. 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 a mobile phone.

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:
