Shift from iphone to ipad mini with cellular?

I was wondering if the ipad mini with cellular can function the way iphone can. I'm currently using iphone 4s right now but i wanted to sell this and buy an ipad mini with cellular and use my current micro sim to the ipad. Can it send and receive text messages and calls the way iphone does through the cellular network?

It only uses cellular data for Internet. It can't make calls or recive texts unless you use Skype or something. It's not a phone and you'd look ridiculous holding it up to your ear.

No, all iPads only use cellular for data, not calls and texts.

  • What use is an ipad or ipad mini to someone with an iphone and macbook? I'm thinking of getting an ipad mini or ipad 2 for someone who already has an iphone 5 and macbook pro. I don't know how useful it will be since they are not likely to use it outside of their home and i'll be getting the non 3g version so it won't be much use when they take it out anyway.

  • Night Shift not showing up on IPhone settings? I just updated my iPhone 5 to iOS 9.3. The problem is when I check under Display and Brightness on settings it isn't there. I don't know how to fix it. Do I have to enable or disable something else on settings to use night shift? Or how do I get it on settings?
  • IPhone 4S Vs S4 Mini Vs HTC One Mini? I don't really care about the display size as I'm only 13 and it can't be massive so 3.5' and 4.3' are perfect display sizes. I'm really struggling as of which one to get as I love android and apple. I mainly: Facebook Text Bit of gaming Music Snapchat Web browse That's it to be fair, so I'm your typical 13 year old boy haha.
