If I buy an iPad will i be able to call someone with an ipad just like an iphone?

I wanted to know if you can call someone with an ipad like how an What I'm saying is can you call someone using an apple ipad? Can I call someone with a ipad?

No you can't call someone with an apple ipad unless its a video calling service like facetime or skype

You could download an app on an ipad to call people for free around the world, but you can't call people with an ipad without an app. An ipad is not really different from an iphone but all you need to do is download an app, for example magicjack is really good to make free calls around the world.

If you are on Wi-Fi and use skype or text free you can make calls

No. No calls.

But if you have Wi-Fi you can video call (face time)

But no, you can't make normal calls with an iPad that would be ridiculous, imagine holding a 10 inch board to your face while driving or walking down the street. Lol.

You can chat with app like whatsapp or use Facetime. Obviously its not a phone.

  • Would she be able to see who I call? So my mom is planning on getting me an iPhone, she said that I better not be going on anything I'm not suppose to because she has a parenting app where she can see things but she said she couldn't see my texts. So would she be able to see who I call and hear the conversation?
  • Will it show up as a missed call if i call someone by accident for half a ring? So I accidentally called my ex on his iphone, but I quickly realized my mistake and hung up after a half ring. Like you know how when you're calling someone it rings, I hung up after the first riiiing. My question is, will it show up on his phone as a missed call? I tested it out on 2 friends. One iphone 5 and iphone 4. They both told me they didn't get a call. Am I in the clear?

  • 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.
