Mastering iPad Phone Calls: How to Set Up Your iPad to Receive Calls from Your iPhone

In today’s interconnected world, the ability to seamlessly switch between devices is a game-changer. If you own both an iPhone and an iPad, did you know that you can set up your iPad to receive phone calls from your iPhone? This feature not only enhances your connectivity but also ensures that you never miss an important call, even if your iPhone is out of reach. In this comprehensive guide, we will walk you through the steps to configure your iPad for phone calls from your iPhone.

Step 1: Ensure Compatibility and Connectivity

Before you begin the setup process, make sure that both your iPhone and iPad are using the same iCloud account and connected to the same Wi-Fi network. This will ensure seamless communication between the two devices.

Step 2: Enable Wi-Fi Calling

On your iPhone, go to Settings > Phone > Wi-Fi Calling and toggle the switch to enable Wi-Fi Calling. This feature allows your iPhone to make and receive calls over a Wi-Fi network, which is essential for the phone call forwarding to your iPad.

Step 3: Activate iPhone Cellular Calls on iPad

On your iPad, go to Settings > FaceTime and toggle the switch for iPhone Cellular Calls to enable this feature. This will allow your iPad to receive calls from your iPhone using the same Apple ID.

Step 4: Test the Setup

Once you have completed the setup process, test the functionality by placing a call to your iPhone from another phone. Your iPad should ring simultaneously, indicating that the call forwarding is working correctly.

Troubleshooting Tips

• If the call forwarding is not working, ensure that both devices are updated to the latest iOS version.
• Check that both devices have a stable internet connection to facilitate the call forwarding process.
• Verify that the FaceTime and Wi-Fi Calling settings are correctly configured on both devices.

By following these steps, you can effortlessly set up your iPad to receive phone calls from your iPhone, enhancing your connectivity and accessibility. Enjoy the convenience of seamless communication across your Apple devices!
