I tried doing that for my family and iOS has this wierd restriction where it drops all incoming calls automatically when you use Kiosk/SingleApp mode. Even if FaceTime is open in foreground.

You could also limit the iPad to running Facetime only in Apple Configurator.

That's exactly the case where iPad starts dropping calls.

Oh. Kinda makes sense, but bad restriction in this case.
