    3G + Skype, that's the solution!

    S.Jobs said that i paddy was able to make celluar calls through the carrrier just as an regular mobilephone, but... It can !

    S.Joba also said that it Is not possible to send sms/mms and recieve sms/mms trough your carrier from your cellphone and It´s cellphonenumber.

    So try It out, put your simcard into the iPad and try, the simcard must be a regular phone sim (microsim), many internetonly simcards doesent suport sms/mms, so test with your sim from your phone or get a twincard. offcourse the options depends on the carrier.
    To If u enable sms/mms feature on your 3G u almost have your iPad/phone.

    Im not bothered if you carnt use it as a phone but it be a bonus if you could.
    don't know if it would work for you, or the cost, but I used Skype yesterday to my Aunt in a different state and know hubby uses Skype to different countries...he's never used iPAD, but only cause it's new and mine, but local clarity was good. Good Luck!

    I use the iPad as a "phone" with skype while away from home to save from roaming cell phone charges. It is very very useful, and I use the mywi app in conjunction with it if there is no wifi available

    I want to use my ipad (or any tool for that matter) to do whatever
    it does well, to help my business/life.

    Any app, now or in the future that does that, I am interested in.


    Line2, Voice Central and Google Voice are just a few of the phone
    management apps that countless folks use on their ipad.

    Have a look.
