Can I use my iPad to make cellular calls

I have a slot for a sim card in my ipad can i use it to make celuualr calls

The iPad cellular design and iOS implementation doesn't facillitate SMS text messaging or voice calling.
You can insert a simcard with active voice & text messaging but you can't receive/send SMS text messaging or make calls. Only the data part works.

Hello jllieblein,
Wi-Fi calling is only available on T-Mobile. The setting can be found in Settings -> Phone, should you have T-Mobile. Otherwise, Wi-Fi calling is off.

The steps below detail how to go about setting your iPad and iPhone up to make phone calls.
Phone calls
To make and receive phone calls on your iPad or iPod touch, here's what you need:
Your iPhone and your iPad or iPod touch need to use iOS 8 or later.
Both devices must be on the same Wi-Fi network.
Both devices must be signed in to FaceTime using the same Apple ID.
This means any iOS device that shares your Apple ID will get your phone calls. Look below for instructions on how to turn off iPhone cellular calls.

You may also need to verify that iPhone Cellular Calls is turned on in Settings -> FaceTime.

You cannot make phone calls over cellular with an iPad.
You can use face time, Skype, Google voice.
Look in the app store.

Thank you so very much, for anticipated replies.

The AT&T model has a microSIM card that can be changed for the microSIM card of other 3G carriers in other countries. You cannot do this with the Verizon model.

After the upgrade to ios5, I can no longer use my iPad to make purchases on ticketmaster. Does anyone have a solution?

Apple changed MobileMe to iCloud and then restricted iCloud to 10.7 users only unfortunately
If your machine is a 64 bit processor Intel Mac you can upgrade to 10.7 for $29, however a lot of your 10.5/10.6/Rosetta based software could cease to function, especially third party hardware drivers for printers, fax machines, all-in-ones, scanners etc.
http://roaringapps.com/apps:table
Also depending how old the machine is, if it can accept 4GB of RAM (preferred), older video card, may not run 10.7 very well or stable.
My advice is to keep at 10.6.8, get a web based email service that's plaform/hardware neutral, forward your iPhone emails there. Gmail/Yahoo Mail for instance.
When your ready for new hardware and all new software, then buy a new machine.
If your going to go to 10.7 on your present hardware, I advise you clone 10.6.8 to a external drive first, that way you can c boot off the 10.6 disk erase the drive completely (necessary to remove hidden Lion Recovery Partition) and option boot off the 10.6.8 clone and reverse clone.

That will depend on how you buy the iPad.
If you buy it from an Apple Store directly at full price it will be unlocked, and can take a sim card from any compatible GSM carrier.
If you buy it directly from T-Mobile under a subsidy(at a discount price tied to a service contract) Then it may be locked to T-Mobile for at least 40 days of service with them.

TS2755 When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy. I'll never buy another if I can text using SMS or MMS

When will Apple ever make it convenient for the customer, I just bought an iPad Air and I'm very upset that I can only use iMessage, iPads are the biggest mistake to buy if you like texting family and friends. I'll never buy another one if I can't text using SMS or MMS. Is there any hope for a patch or new operating system to fix this issue, or an app to use with iPad Air

Can an iPad Air with Cellular call?

i've got an iPad Air with Cellular and WiFi
Can i make phone calls without using FaceTime?

No. The iPad is not a Phone. It cannot make Cellular calls.
Only internet based VOIP calls. There are several VOIP apps available in the store including Skype and Google Voice.

How can I use my ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections. The apple store clerk told me that I can't use airport express unless I also have a computer with me in the hotel.

How can I use my Ipad in a hotel that only has ethernet connections? The Apple store clerk told me that travel express won't work in my hotel unless I also have a computer.

The issue with the Airport Express (or any of the Apple routers) is that you need the Airport Utility to configure it. Airport Utility works on OSX and Windows, but not on the iPad (or iPhone or iPod Touch.) It will work, if you can preconfigure the Airport correctly ahead of time, but you'd be stuck if you did need to reconfigure while at the hotel.
You can use most any other router that is configured with a web page, which means you have a chance of configuring with Safari on the iPad. If you want something somewhat portable, I use a "travel router" made by D-Link. The current model is the DAP-1350. Other companies make similar travel routers, but I have no experience with the others.

Assuming there won't be any wi-fi netwokrs, will there be cellular reception there?
If so, you need to check if a carrier or the carrier if there is only one, offers a data only plan for the iPad and similar devices along with providing a mico-SIM card. If a carrier offers a data only plan with a full size SIM card, you can cut the SIM card down to mico-SIM size. There are devices that provide for this.
If there is cellular reception but a carrier or the carrier doesn't have a data plan only for the iPad and similar devices but offers a tethering plan for phones on their network, you can tether your iPad to the cell phone for internet access via the carrier's cellular network.

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.
