Hi Anthony,
A 3G/LTE enabled iPad does not have a Phone App or the ability to make regular phone calls, i.e. your SIM card does not have a phone number which can be called. You can, of course, use Skype or a number of other Voip services to make phone calls and, if you had a Skype-In number or something like that you could also receive calls that are coming to that number.

Just curious. Anthony Sent from my Verizon iPhone 5!

I have wifi only and don't miss cellular data and didn't want to pay a carrier more money. But I am seldom where I don't have access to wifi. If you are going to depend on your iPad while in places where you don't have good, reliable wifi access, or if there are services or apps you want to use that require cellular data or a particular carrier, then you should get cellular or reconsider whether the iPad is really the best choice for you. Also, one reason I have an iPad in addition to an iPhone is that I didn't want my battery power on the iPhone being called on to do everything, although of course I do know that there are battery charging solutions out there. If battery use isn't an issue for you, then make sure you have thought through why you want an iPad instead of or in addition tpo an iPhone. -- Cheryl May the words of my mouth and the meditation of my heart be acceptable to You, Lord, my rock and my Redeemer.

I have a final choice as to which Model want. I am still torn between having one with cellular data data connection or without. I wonder if those of you who have iPads have any comments about this whether you have missed it because you haven't had it will because you are glad you have bought a cheaper model without it. In addition, it would help me to understand whether or not, should I decide to buy the more expensive model to include cellular data, whether I have to have a card installed from my carrier before I can actually use the iPad I ask this because I couldn't finish the iPhone setup without first having a card installed. I don't want to run into the same problem. Any help you can give will be most appreciated. Thanks!

I knew the obvious differences between the iPad and iPhone, but having heard so much about iPad specific apps, better processor, etc. I guess I was a little optimistic. I think I would be better served by going for the iPhone 5, but I would only feel good about that if the upgrade is significantly better than my iPhone 4S. Then I start thinking I could just wait until next year to get the 5S or whatever they're calling it. Decisions, decisions, but that's what you get when you're trying to stay productive on the road. At the very least I was hoping Dropbox would be accessible off-line since that's doable on notebooks.--Joe Sent from my iPhone On Dec 11, 2012, at 9:09 PM, Kevin Barry <krba...@gmail.com> wrote: I love my iPad 4 which I bought to replace an iPad 2 which has moved on to a new owner. My point was that an iPad and iPhone are both great but are different and will not perform all the same functions equally and I would have thought that more obvious. Kevin At 08:51 PM 12/11/2012, you wrote: All sarcasm aside, I do believe that both iPad and iPhone have their place and will be useful to some and not as much to others. I think it highly depends on the needs of the user. It's already been discussed much on the list the differences between iPad and iPhone and why one chooses one over the other. Personally I'm fine without the iPad and perfectly happy with the iPhone, but someone like my wife and daughter would really enjoy the iPad for the kinds of things you can do on it VS the iPhone. For example, my daughter is sighted and an avid reader. Reading books on her iPhone is not as fun as it is on the iPad because of the text size and because of more scrolling which is done from the iPhone, but the iPad is perfect for her socialization, email, and book reading needs. So, I imagine that eventually the girls in my life will convince me to get one or both of them an iPad. Until then, scroll scroll scroll from the iPhone. I keep telling them to just use Nook and Voice Over and let it do all the work. Or better yet, Audible books. But no one listens to me. <smile>. -- Raul A.

Anyway, I got an iPad 4th gen as a surprise. Honestly, I don't get it. It's the oversized iPhone I feared. The single best feature I can point to is the four-finger swipe to switch between apps. Otherwise, without 3G access, I can't access Dropbox outside of wireless range. Only one of my text editors will give me some access to the Dropbox file structure, but overall this doesn't work as the commuter tool I was hoping for. Where am I going wrong? Are there apps that let you read Dropbox files outside of wireless range, or is 3G really needed to make this a viable commuter device? I'm thinking I'd be better off upgrading to the iPhone 5 for the faster processor and 4G connections, but before selling off this unit, I want to make sure I'm giving it a fair shake. Right now it just feels like one big ass screen that feels more awkward than useful. Even the greater web page range is not enough to make me admire the extra screen real estate.
