Assuming that both your iPad and iPhone are signed-in to iCloud with the same AppleID, verify your iPhone and iPad “Calling” settings:


On the iPhone


Settings > Mobile Data >

  • WiFi Calling >
    • WiFi Calling on This iPhone - set to ON
    • Add WiFi Calling For Other Devices - set to ON
  • Calls on Other Devices
    • Allow Calls on Other Devices - set to ON
    • [Allow Calls On] - explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices


On the iPad


Settings > FaceTime > Calls from iPhone > Calls from iPhone - set to ON



If all settings are as above, force restart both the iPhone and iPad:

Force restart iPhone - Apple Support

Force restart iPad - Apple Support
