Im trying to find a way to use my SIM to receive and make calls, i googled around, no luck, got 3g Unrestrictor and that messed up my iPhone 4 which now has no facetime to be found, on the ipad 2 i simply cant test it atm to receive or make calls, so far it seems like it cant receive anything.

Any JB apps out there for this?

iPhoneIslam released PhoneIt for iPad which provides full phone call functionality, but unfortunately this does not yet suport the iPad2. There is no alternative for iPad2 which I am aware of, sorry. Keep an eye on PhoneIt. I'm sure when they release iPad2 support we will report it on here...

Also, I would contact your provider and ask when doing this will it change the device on your account. Reason I mention this is I'm with AT&T in the US and when you place a call, AT&T's system can tell what the device is and if I were to pop out my SIM card and put it in a different phone, say my old T750, it will recognize this and change the device on my account. This would be a big problem for me as I'm grandfathered with unlimited data on my account so if the system did change my device on my account, regardless of putting the SIM back in my iPhone I will have lost the unlimited data. Not sure what the rules are with your cell provider but I would look into it before experimenting with swaping your SIM card around.

i wonder why NO 3g support is ready for the ipad 2, hmmm.

I never once got facetime to work, i am about to try that but i sure rather have ONE DEVICE, not ONE SIM and TWO DEVICES, money still ruins it all.

too bad, i thught i would find a solution here, i tried Viber just now and that does not work at all., Skype over 3G seems to be the way to go so far, Google talk maybe., any suggestions appreciated. :) and thanks for the help

lol

nah, the speaker is loud enough while the mic is located at the top so it works nice holding it facing me. or i can always plug in the earphone.

iphoneislam actually said they would love to support ipad2 provided that the JB is available. in fact i read somewhere that some users of ipad2 jailbroken on 4.3.3 did manage to install and use but result varies.

Ok, with AT&T (and I think in the US in general) when you place a call their systems can see the EMI number of the device and can tell what you are using. If it doesn't match up to the one on your account, it automatically changes the device on your account... it's pretty lame.

I use ear phones with both iPhone and iPad, never judge a book (or picture) by its cover

i prefer this
