Call Dad from iPad Without a SIM (Wi‑Fi Only)

A Wi-Fi iPad can be a dependable family-call device when setup is child-first and parent-controlled. No SIM card or phone number is required.

This page is the iPad-specific path within the Kids Phones & Tablets knowledge base (kidscallhome.com/kids-devices): Safari or installed web app, child login code, and parent-approved contacts only.

Frequently asked questions

Where do I read about Starter access or Family Plan pricing?

This iPad setup page stays hardware-focused. For Starter vs Family Plan, use kidscallhome.com/free-calls-for-kids so billing intent stays on one URL.

Do I need a cellular iPad for child calls?

No. Wi-Fi-only iPads are enough for family calling when the app supports internet calls and parent-approved contacts.

Is this only for calling dad?

No. The same setup works for mom, co-parents, grandparents, and other approved family members.

How do I make this easy for younger children?

Use one prominent home-screen shortcut, a short approved contact list, and a repeatable tap-to-call routine your child can practice.
