Sorry, the iPad does not have a phone icon.

Actually, mine did. I also have a number associated with it.

No iPad ever made has had the physical ability to connect to any cellular telephone service providers voice network.

So whatever App you were using may well have had a number assigned to it. But it was a third party App, not an Apple App. And it was using some form of VOIP/WiFi calling service.

Talkatone, for example uses a phone handset icon (Blue on white) but it is a VOIP Service.

An iPad is not a cellular telephone and has no ability by itself to make cellular telephone calls. Thus it has no phone icon nor app.

No iPad has a phone icon as no iPad is a phone.

So, there is NO phone icon to restore.

Maybe you are remembering wrong?

Maybe that phone icon was for a third party phone app from the iOS Store.

No iPad ever has ever had a default phone icon on it.

iPads cannot make traditional cellular phone calls. EVER!

I have been using iPads for 8 years.

They have never had a built-in phone app as part of iOS.

I own a 64 GBs storage iPad 2.

No phone icon/app.

As indicated by the previous posters, that would not be possible. There is nothing to fix.
