I believe that if we ask everyone if we can use our iPads to make phone calls, many people will answer no. As a tablet computer, the iPad cannot be used to make calls. I believe this is a fact that many people already know. But the editor will tell you now that our iPad can actually be used to make calls. Will you be very surprised? Next, the editor will introduce to you how our iPad without a SIM card can be used to make calls. Let’s implement the function of making phone calls.

Introduction to how to make calls on iPad

There is a new feature in the latest iOS8 system, which is called "Continuous Interoperability". Allows iPhone to interconnect with iPad or Mac computer. Of course, if you want your iPad to use your iPhone to make calls, you need to use the same account, that is, the same Apple ID, to log in to Facetime on both devices. Find the Facetime option in the settings list and log in with your own account on iPhone and iPad. In addition, "iPhone Cellular Calling" in Facetime must be turned on. When both iPad and iPhone log in to Facetime with the same account, the second condition needs to be met, which is that they must be on the same wireless network, for example, both can be connected to your own wireless LAN. The third condition is that Bluetooth on both iPad and iPhone must be turned on, and only these models can detect each other: iPhone 5 or later, iPad (4th generation), iPad Air, iPad mini, equipped with Retina display iPad mini with a screen, so devices other than these cannot use iPhone to make calls.

After everything is ready, you can try to make a call using the iPhone on the iPad. It can directly make calls to the files that exist on the iPhone. Contacts can also make other calls. Of course, if there is an incoming call on the iPhone, it will also be displayed on the iPad, and you can answer it between the two devices. After opening Facetime on the iPad, select the "Audio" column to make the call. . Here you can also see that Mac computers can also use iPhone to make calls, which has the same effect as using iPhone to make calls.

This in iOS8 The new function is very convenient and practical. When we are at home or in the office, we can use other devices to make calls without the need for an iPhone. If we are unable to make calls between multiple devices, first, check iCloud. The second step is to check whether the account is set up correctly and it must be connected to the same wireless network. The other thing is to pay attention to whether your iPad or iPhone supports the "continuous interoperability" function. You can check the list of devices that support it below.

Note: Continuity is available on iPhone 5 or later, iPad (4th generation), iPad Air, iPad mini, iPad mini with Retina display, and iPod touch (5th generation)

Summary: The editor introduced this function of iPad to everyone above. I believe everyone will be very shocked. Of course, what we are talking about here does not mean that our iPad can make calls without using a SIM. The iPad mentioned here can make calls because our iPad and our iPhone are interconnected, so Then we can make calls through our iPad. Although this function seems very useless, please believe that when you use it, you will fall in love with this function.
