ITA. I have that App and never did work. Too confusing too!

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!

Would you want to use the iPad as a phone?

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

Try the Ooma app. I'm blown away at how good it sounds. I wrote more on ot here: Ooma Review iPad equipment and software

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.
