New iPhone 6 owners who also have a late model iPad should set up Handoff. This allows phone calls to the iPhone 6 appear on the iPad. Calls can be answered on the iPad either as a speakerphone or with headphones.
In addition to phone calls, in the next few weeks text messages will appear on the iPad, too. Once OS X Yosemite ships, calls and text messages will also appear on Macs that have been upgraded to that version of OS X.
To enable Handoff, there's a process in Settings to make sure it works.
1. On the iPhone 6, in Settings tap on FaceTime.
2. Toggle FaceTime off and on, leaving it on.
3. Toggle iPhone Cellular Calls off and on, also leaving it on.
4. Go back to General settings and tap "Handoff & Suggested Apps".
5. Toggle Handoff off and on, leaving it on.
6. Reboot the iPhone.
7. Repeat for every iPad you wish to use with Handoff.
To use Handoff, make sure both devices are on the same Wi-Fi network (LTE doesn't work). They should both be logged into the same Apple ID, too.
