Subscriber Account active since. Way back in , when Apple released iOS 8, the iPhone and iPad got a feature called Continuity which lets the two devices work almost as one — you can copy and paste wirelessly between the two , as well as continue text message and other activities seamlessly when switching between phone and tablet.
Perhaps the coolest and most convenient Continuity feature, though, is the ability to send and receive phone calls on the iPad. The only requirements: Your phone and tablet need to be connected to the same Wi-Fi network and signed in with the same Apple ID. You'll need to throw a few switches in Settings on both the iPhone and iPad to make this work. On your iPhone, open the Settings app.
Turn this feature on by swiping the button to the right, and then enable the feature for your iPad by swiping the button below in the "Allow Calls On" section.
If you have multiple iOS devices, you can enable calling on as many of them as you like. On the right, tap "Calls from iPhone" and turn that feature on by swiping the button to the right. Now you're all set up — when a call comes in on your iPhone , it will also ring on the iPad. You can accept the call on either device. You can also place calls from the iPad even though there's no dialer app. To make a call:. Find the contact whom you want to call. Tap the "Call" button at the top of the screen or tap a phone number in the contact's details.
If you're calling someone who has an iPhone, you can also place a FaceTime call from the iPad, taking advantage of the tablet's larger screen for the video. You don't have to use your iPhone to make calls with your iPad. There are several popular voice and video messaging apps you can use on your iPad.
This feature syncs your iPad and iPhone to allow you to place and receive calls on your tablet as if it were really your phone. These calls are actually routed through your iPhone, so you can place calls to anyone, even if they don't have an Apple ID.
Here's how you turn the feature on:. Before you follow the instructions below, make sure to connect the iPhone and iPad to the same Wi-Fi network and that you're signed in to both using the same Apple ID. Open Settings on your phone. Find the Phone settings. When the list of devices shows up, enable the ones you want to route calls to. Compatible devices include other iPads, iPhones, and Macs. With this setting active, you can make and receive calls on any device you're signed in to with your Apple ID.
If you want some options other than the standard ones on your iPad, you can also look into third-party internet calling apps. Skype is the most popular way to place internet calls, and unlike FaceTime, it isn't restricted to people using an iOS device. Skype on the iPad is a relatively simple process, though you need to download the Skype app. Unlike FaceTime, there could be fees involved with placing calls through Skype, but Skype-to-Skype calls are free, so you only pay for calling people who do not use Skype.
FaceTime and Skype are great, both offering the advantage of placing video calls, but what about placing a free call to anyone in the U. FaceTime only works with other FaceTime users, and while Skype can place a call to anyone, it's only free to other Skype users.
Talkatone is a free calling app that extends the Google Voice service by allowing calls over the data line, which means you can use it with your iPad. You need both the Talkatone app and the Google Voice app. Go to your Google Voice account and add your Talkatone number as a forwarding phone number.
After you do this, outgoing calls show from your Talkatone phone number. Google Voice doesn't allow you to forward text messages to linked numbers, though, due to potential spam issues.
