How to receive sms from iPad data sim

Hey guys I don’t know why this iPad system made like this ****.


I am the first apple user in my family. I got IPad 9th generation Wi-Fi + Cellular 256 Gb.


This cellular model is worst & waste of money. I can’t call, send & receive the sms from my iPad data sim. Only data purpose why they released. Wi-Fi model is worthy. Wi-Fi + Cellular model is Waste of money.

SMS requires a cellular phone and a cellular phone plan, not a data plan. You can't use SMS messaging and you can't make cellular phone calls without a cellular phone. (You can do both from an iPad if you also have an iPhone and use Continuity: Use Continuity to connect your Mac, iPhone, iPad, and Apple Watch - Apple Support ).
