You cannot make phone calls with an iPad whether it has cellular or not. 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. In the end you have to ignore everything, & click I agree. -- The following information is important for all members of the V iPhone list.
