Start here:

Make a call with Wi-Fi Calling - Apple Support


Assuming that you also have an iPhone, to which your iPad “Calling Features” (and SMS Messaging) are linked, you may need to check/reset these features on your iPhone.


On iPhone:


Settings > Mobile Data > Wi-Fi Calling >

  • WiFi Calling on This iPhone - set to ON
  • WiFi Calling For Other Devices - set to ON


Settings > Mobile Data > Calls on Other Devices >

  • Allow Calls on Other Devices - set to ON 
  • [Allow Calls On] - verify that your iPad is explicitly enabled in the device list



On iPad:


Settings > FaceTime > Calls from iPhone > Calls From iPhone - set to ON


If prompted, enable WiFi Calling where supported by your Carrier



Finally, if all settings are correct and the issue persists, a forced restart of one or both devices may be necessary.
