This is what we know. There is an app, it's called digits. This is from t-mobile. Digits can be very easily installed on an ipad. Then you can make and receive phone calls. This requires t-mobile service for digits to work. This is our understanding, in order for digits to work any time, anywhere, you have to have a mobile internet line from t-mobile, however, if you don't have a mobile internet line digits would work just as good on a wifi connection. If you're somewhere and you don't have a wifi, but you do have a device with hotspot in it you can connect the ipad to the hotspot and it will work just fine. We do have digits on our ipad and we just canceled our mobile internet line since it continues to work fine on our wifi. If we ever have a need to take the ipad anywhere we could just use one of our phones as a hotspot or find a wifi connection. While you can have an ipad and it could be everything, including a phone, when it comes to phones we prefer to use our iphones. What's great is having all these different options. To get more detailed information about digits I recomend that you call t-mobile. The t-mobile number is 800-866-2453.

The cellular means you can use it for GPS or internet access when not on WiFi. Is there a reason not to simply get an iPhone? The interface is the same, you have a smaller screen area so the dexterity would be less of an issue, and you can do everything including make phone calls. The iPad Mini 4 is a good suggestion if you decide on an iPad. If you go with cellular, you will still be paying for a data plan. Of course, you can use Skype or FaceTime to make calls to other Skype or FaceTime users.

A friend is blind with hand dexterity problems, & was told by others not to get the large iPad, but to get the midsize or small iPad. From doing a little research you can get these iPads with WiFi or with WiFi & cellular. If we get her one with WiFi & celular will she be able to make phone calls with the iPad? Do the mini iPads have dictation for texting & emailing like the iPhones? When we buy her this iPad does it matter who we buy it from, i.e, should we buy it from her cell carrier, Apple or other wise...? All input will be gratefully accepted & greatly appreciated. Thank y'all very much. Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers! Sennt from my iBarstool. Arguing with a woman is like reading a software license agreement.
