time delay in making a phone call from Ipad

Is there any way to shorten the amount of time it takes to make a phone call from the Ipad when it is tethered to an Iphone. I know it doesnt sound like a lot of time, but i find it is around 6 seconds. Trying to reduce it as much as possible


Thank you

To be fair, remember this time has two major components:

  1. The time the iPad takes to communicate with the iPhone
  2. The time for the iPhone to make the connection over your cellular network.


As that time gets apportioned, my estimate is ⅔ of the time is spent on #2, a component that can never be lessened (except perhaps by switching cellular carrier). In other words, if the iPad is not present and the call is placed only using the iPhone, item #2 represents that time.
