Chinese SIM card doesn’t work

I just bought an iPad Pro 2022 cellular version in Australia recently. The jbhifi staff told me I can put any SIM card in including Chinese SIM card. But after I put my Chinese SIM card into iPad, I can’t receive any messages. How can I fix that?

iPad mini 5, iPadOS 16

iPad is not capable of SMS. It can use a carrier SIM or eSIM for data, but not for cellular calls nor for SMS functions.
