Wanna make and answer phone calls on your iPad- Here is how to do it with call relay

Calling from iPad

Since the release of iOS 8.1, you have been able to make and accept calls from your iPad when your iPhone is nearby. You’ll need your iPhone nearby, but this feature lets you stay on one machine and keep doing it no matter what comes up.

Call relay lets you answer and place calls from your iPhone using your iPad or Mac. It means that if your iPhone is in your pocket or bag, across the room or in another room entirely, you no longer have to worry about getting to it just to take or make a call. Instead, as long as you’re logged into the same Apple ID (iCloud account) and on the same Wi-Fi network, you can take or make those calls right from your iPad or Mac. It uses the same phone number, carrier, and plan as your iPhone, so the person on the other end won’t know the difference. Call relay also provides all the features you’re used to from your iPhone as well, including the caller’s number, contact picture, and more. That makes it not only convenient, but easy to use!

To set up and use call relay to make and answer phone calls on your iPad from your iPhone, both devices will need to meet the following requirements:

  • They should be running iOS 8.1 or later.
  • Connected to the same Wi-Fi network.
  • Logged into the same iCloud account (Apple ID).

So to enable call relay on your iPhone and iPad you need to open settings on your iPhone> then Tap Phone> then Tap Calls on Other Devices.
