If it’s an o2 data sim that came with the tablet on a refresh contract you will never make calls because o2 don’t enable it on data sims.
Nor can you tether an iPad to it for calls either.
The best you can do, if you have a normal o2 phone contact, is register for and install Tugo on the tablet.

Is your sim activated?
Try calling customer service to check http://www.o2.co.uk/contactus
If this is an upgrade you can also try your old sim rather than the new one.

If its the sim that came with the tablet, then voice calls are barred on the sim, as its data only.
