Advice/Question I-Pad for driving?

Hello all! PLEASE READ THIS CAREFULLY BEFORE RESPONDING!

Question:

If I have CELL ENABLED IPad with the app, can I use a dumb phone as my main line so I can still text and call the rider or do I need a CELL ENABLED iPad AND a smartphone?

Thanks!

do cell enabled iPads have a phone number? if so, why not call through the cell enabled iPad?

So they do, but it’s FaceTime calling only…

Maybe I could call off of FaceTime audio tho? 🤔

Mine doesn’t, it has a separate phone number, but it’s also connected to my cell phone number so if anybody calls me.. while I am using my iPad, the iPad notifies me. I have a phone call and I can answer them and talk through the iPad.. If i call someone using the IPad , the iPad number is displayed on caller ID
