Correct. The big difference is that the iPad Mini doesn't have the phone
calling and texting feature you'll get on a phone. There are also some
minor differences where apps will take advantage of the larger display,
so some screen layouts may differ from the iPhone to the iPad. There are
also a few apps that you don't get on the iPad, but they're easy enough
to replace from the App Store. voiceOver does work the same, so you get
the same accessibility.

Ok, Best Buy (cringe) has the I pad minis on sale for $239. I might go
look. I take it that these are identical in function to the IPhones and
voice over works just as well, correct?

Deidre,
People have two iPhones or two phones with the same carrier when they
have a work phone and a home phone, so I actually do not think that is
an issue.
So, I gather from what you said about the 4S, you are basically using it
as a wifi device only and not using it as a phone.
If that is the case, one thought would be to activate it as a phone and
replace whatever you are currently using as a phone with it and instead
of buying another phone, perhaps buy an iPad Mini, either the newest
mini 2, or the previous mini with retina display.
Use the phone for phone things, and use the mini for books, music etc.
You will have double the battery life at least with a mini.
Or, like you say, chuck both current phones, and get a new iPhone with
enough memory for what you want to do and go with a lower cost plan
through someone like t-mobile, Consumer Cellular, etc., where you would
not be tied into a contract.
There are tons of options. The first thing I would do is sort out
exactly what you want to be able to do. Then, do you want one device or
two to maintain, then talk with the different carriers and see what you
can afford.
Good luck,
Richard
