Q: Phone Calls and Text Messages

I used to be able to make and receive phone calls and text messages on my iPad but I had to reboot my iPad lately and now it doesn't.

What can I do to make my iPad make and receive phone calls and text messages again?

iPad mini Wi-Fi

Your iPad is not a cellular telephone, and never has been one. There is a way to make and receive phone calls and text messages using the iPad, but it also requires your iPhone to be nearby as it will be the primary vehicle for sending and receiving these calls / messages.
