iPad, IPhone on different carriers

If my IPhone is with one service carrier and my IPad with another will I still be able to link them to receive FaceTime, calls and iMessages on my IPad?

Yes.


The carrier on the iPad is only used for Internet access through a data connection. It cannot be used for calls and messaging. That is done through the paired iPhone only.
