I have skype, but you can only make/receive calls via email for free. You have to pay for calling phone numbers (like a cell phone). Now I have Talkatone on my ipad that I can call/receive/text any number (phone/cell phone) in us and canada free. It's big difference!

Yay! Glad you got it to work for you. As I said, I've used it and I quite liked it. Very handy.

I just started using Talkatone and Google Voice to make calls with wireless only. Pretty cool. That is the only bad thing; you gotta be connected to wireless. Tango works good too. Facetime with wireless only. My 4G part of the iPad has never been activated since I bought it - it just an off-the-shelf WalMart iPad.

Not so true: when you use mac with internet connection (wire or wireless), you can setup google voice to make/receive calls through home phone (or cell phone?) as well as text by mac; no TaT needed. I think a big advantage from TaT is that using it with ipad makes ipad become a virtual wireless cell phone (for free).

Besides, there's free wifi in the parking lot of every McDonald's and Starbucks, plus many motels, gas stations, and restaurants. Not as convenient as a cell phone, but it's there if you really need it.
