I am really sorry to say having spend so much on iPad Air, it doesn't support call n text feature. I know it's of no use but it's required to enable promo packs by sending text to operators. How do I enable the promo packs or see the data balance without having cellular features?
iPad Air Wi-Fi, Cellular, iOS 7.1
You can track your cell data in settings under cellular data.
iPad is not a cell phone, so of course it can't make calls or send text messages. No tablet will.
iPad is not a cell phone, it doesn't do phone calls or SMS messaging since those are phone, not data services. No idea what you mean by "promo packs" but that would be something you need to work out with whomever is offering those.
You should not need to contact operators with the iPad to activate a SIM card.
It should activate when you put it into the iPad.
I know it's not a cell phone but to enable data packs I have to send text to operator which can't be done via ipad
It doesn't work like that in India

No it can't. As I said before, you will need to work that out with the provider, or use a number that is connected to a cell phone that supports SMS.
If the carrier insists that you send an activation request via SMS, then they do not support the iPad. Either call the carrier and discuss the problem with them, or choose another carrier, one that does provide proper iPad support.
Regards.
Regret to say Apple doesn't support cellular calls n texts messages which are important to activate data promo packs by sending text to operators, how do I do it now?
