Can you turn the iPad mini into a "phone" ?

Is it possible to turn the Ipad mini into a "phone" ?

If you have Vonage for your home phone, you can get the free Vonage Extensions app that links to your home phone number.  It is a great app and it works on the iPad and will not incur any additional charges.  They also have options that work without a home account.  Another option is the Free Calls with magicJack app that lets you make free calls to telephones in the US and Canada.  If you just want a free over-the-top service to call or text people who use the same app, and you don't need to call landlines, I recommend Viber.  Of course, all these options only work when your iPad has an internet connection, but they are all free and worth trying out.

  • HT4060 I can't find a definite answer anywhere regarding whether or not you need to turn the iPad mini off before charging. So my question is should I turn the iPad mini off or leave it on before charging? Thanks in advance.

    I rarely if ever turn my iPad off. I charge it when the battery is low or at night while I'm sleeping. Even then I close the Smart Cover and let it sleep but I do not turn it off. It doesn't matter when you charge the iPad.
    The most efficient way to charge the iPad is to use the charger that came with it and plug that into a known good wall outlet.

    Sure.  Wifi is wifi the world over, so you can use any free wifi you can find at hotels, restaurants, and so forth.
    If you have a wifi+cellular iPad mini, you can use a SIM card from a local carrier if there is one there that offers iPad data plans.

  • I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I want to store movies on an SD disk, watch them on the way to Europe, then use the chip to record photos in my camera.  I can't get the iPad mini to recognize the videos I've recorded.

    I'm a bit lost - you first say
    "The only file(s) I can sometimes get it to recognize are the ones shot with a camera onto an SD card"
    then you say
    " If I take an unused SD card and record video with my camera, it will see, and import the file to the Photo app."
    In the first statement, aren't you using an SD card in the camera?  And what do you mean by "unused SD card"?    Cameras put their files in specific folders on a card, and your device only reads photos and video from those folders, not from anywhere else on the card.

  • I tried to update my ipad3..now I have the dreaded red bleeping screen of death... it is literaly bleeping on and off. I can't turn the ipad off and I can't do anything else either. Any thoughts?

    it is literaly bleeping on and off. I can't turn the ipad off and I can't do anything else either. Any thoughts?
    I plugged it into my laptop and it still doesn't do anything but blip red.
    I knew I should have waited to up date it until I got back. everytime i try to update one of my ipads, something goes wrong.....
    I really need my ipad back as I am going on a trip tomorrow morning and need my gps map on there.

    I held down the sleep and home key to shut down the ipad.... it's restarting...hopefully this will work!

    my ipad won"t turn off. there is a small window with an email text in it and it appears frozen on the screen. How can i turn the ipad off?

    Try a reset: Simultaneously hold down the Home and On buttons until the device shuts down. Ignore the off slider if it appears. Once shut down is complete, if it doesn't restart on it own, turn the device back on using the On button. In some cases it also helps to double click the Home button and close all apps BEFORE doing the reset.

  • Can you update the ipad one to ios 6

    can you update the ipad 1 to ios 6 if not when can you?

    That iPad can only be updated to 5.1.1, and in all probability will never be able to be updated beyond that.

  • How many times can you upgrade your ipad mini?

    i have the ipad mini, and i would like to know, how many times you can upgrade? reason being the 3rd gerantion ipodtouch only upgrades once. for an ipad mini can i upgrade more than once, because it would be fair

    There is no limit to the number of times an iPad can get an iOS update. Eventually though the iOS will evolve beyond the capabilities of the specific iPad. Tis is already the case for the original iPad. That iPad can only be updated to iOS 5.1.1 and no further. So far all iPads after that continue to receive updates when Apple releases them.

  • Can you iMessage between iPad mini and a non-apple hone?

    Not clear to me whether an iPad mini can iMessage to non-Apple products. Or only mini to iPhone, another iPad etc?if, how to set up. Can't find way to enter phone #

    IMessages works only with other iOS devices and Mac computers running Mountain Lion or Mavericks.
    You can add an iPhone number to use as your contact address as long as the phone number is associated with your Apple ID. Settings> Messages>Send & Receive at>Yoy can be reached by iMessages at.
    If your phone number is not showing in that settings, sign out of Messages on the iPhone and the iPad Mini, then sign in again on the phone first and then the number should be accessible for you to use on the iPad.
    This kb article explains how to link your phone number to Messages and FaceTime.

  • Can you read the iPad in the sun?

    can you read an ipad in the sun? DOes the anti glare screen protector make it easier?

    I found this from the More like this box on the right.
    I use the screen cover from this site http://www.powersupportusa.com/accessories/ipad-2/hd-anti-glare-film.html
    works great, but I won't lie and say it's a 100% but it's the best I've found to combat the glare from direct sun.
    I have a very difficult time using my iPad in bright sunlight with no anti glare screen protector on it. Here are some more that you can check out.

  • Can I unblock the iPad mini to use in other countries in Latin America with another SIM Card?

    I recently was in Panama and found out I could unlock my iPhone 5S to use it with a SIM card from a local phone company including data.
    Can this be done with the iPad mini? Or with any iPad? It would be great if I can unblock it and work with my iPad without the need of wi fi.

    iPads are sold unlocked.
