Hi Arlene,
Thank you very much for all your helpful suggestions. She has been using
Verizon for over 20 years, so switching to T-Mobile is pretty much not an
option, but not an impossibility, maybe! LOL LOL We'll run it by her to
see what she thinks. Thanks again.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

Mike, you're a wonderful friend to her, and that's exactly what I was
thinking as I said in my other message with her interest in having an ipad
to be able to use someone else's for a period of time, and it would be good
to try both the ipad and the phone as well so she could see what would be
right for her.

Actually what I'm trying to talk her into is to borrow an iPhone or iPad
and play around with each of them to find out what level of difficulty she
might have with either device. Going by what anyone suggests will not be
good since only she knows the amount of dexterity she has and by actual
useage she can determine which device puts the least amount of stress on her
hands / fingers. She will also need to determine if the braces she wears on
each thumb will hinder her in any way with gestures. I want to thank you
all again because with what information you've provided it'll help her make
a decision on her own to a large degree.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

I don’t think it would be a good idea to talk somebody such as the person
you describe into buying anything. You can tell her what she can do with
these devices and encourage her to maybe go to an Apple Store and try out an
iPad or iPhone but I’d hate to talk somebody into buying such an expensive
device only so they can find out they can’t use it.

This person has never had a computer of any nature because of her hand
problems, & I'm trying to talk her into getting an iPhone over the iPad, but
for some reason she wants an iPad. Maybe now when I read her these messages
she'll change her mind. She uses a Revere cell phone that she would for
phone calls, but like all of you, I feel the iPhone would be her best
option! Phoning, texting, dictation, she would have it all, but I can't
speak for her, & I don't know just how limited her hand useage is. Thanks
again for all your input.
Take care. Mike. Go Dodgers!

Correct, you can’t send regular SMS messages with an iPad unless you also
have an iPhone on the same WiFi network or you are using some sort of app. I
believe in the US google Voice would allow you to use your iPad much like a
phone.

Yes, if you have an iPhone and an iPad, there is a setting that will allow
you to receive calls on the iPad if the iPhone is in range.
You can also double tap on a contact phone number on the iPad and make a
call, again if the iPhone is in range.
But, without an iPhone, you would use FaceTime or Skype.
As for text messages, you can text using your email address to other Apple
device owners with an iPad, but I do not think you can text to a non-Apple
device. That one I'm not sure of, so take that with a grain of salt.

I say that because when I get a phone call my iPad will sometimes ring.
But yes, if you just have an iPad you will have to use Facetime to call.

Hi Maria,
Thank you very much for your input. I'm going to assume that if she can
email with this iPad, she'll be able to send text messages with it as well.
Am I correct with this assumption? Thanks again.

Hi, the iPad does have dictation and email. I recommend she gets the
iPad Mini 4. I have the mini 2, but it doesn't have all the somewhat recent
hardware. I think she will need her phone with her to make phone calls.

Subject: iPad Questions
Hi All,
I have absolutely no knowledge about iPads, so here goes. 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!
