Make calls on the iPad - the best tips

If you want to make calls with the iPad, you can do this in several ways. We show you the best apps and give tips for making calls with your tablet.

iPad: Make calls with FaceTime, Skype and Co.

The easiest way to make calls with the iPad is via FaceTime. The app is already installed on every iPad and allows calls between iPhone, iPad, iPod touch and Mac. You can use the FaceTime app to call all contacts whose Apple ID or email address you use as Apple ID.
FaceTime works similarly to the alternative applications Skype and Viber. Here you have to register for the respective service beforehand. Both applications are also free of charge, but your counterpart must also use the same app.
If you use both an iPad and an iPhone, you can pair the two devices with each other. This means that calls can be made from iPad to iPhone. We will show you how this works in the next paragraph.

To connect iPhone and iPad, you have to log in with your Apple ID on both devices. You can see whether this is already the case in the "Settings" app under the "iCloud" category.
In addition, you must be in the same WiFi network and always have FaceTime activated. The corresponding function can also be found in the "Settings" under "FaceTime".
Every call that is now received on your iPhone is automatically offered for acceptance on your iPad. If you open the Contacts app on your iPad, you can also dial numbers from here.
