Can ipad air replace a cell phone

Can I pad air be used as a cell phone?

No it can't.  You can use Skype on iPad, but it is not a cell phone, wasn't designed to be a cell phone and can't be a cell phone.

    Is your phone still covered by warranty?  If so, go to your nearest Apple store and depending on what happened, this may or may not be covered by warranty.  If it is, then you can get a replacement exactly as the phone you already have.
    If out of warranty, then there is nothing you can do and you'll have to pay.

  • HT203512 Got my iPad air replaced guy in store said my music was in cloud and it wouldn't be a problem to transfer over.turns out it is cause I had updated my system since then and my entire music Is

    I Got my iPad air replaced because it had problems connecting to the wifi.
    the guy in the Apple Store said my music library was stored in the cloud and would be easily restored.
    the problem is the new iPads operating system was updated there for couldn't retrieve my stored music I was livid I have an old pc
    that took me ages to get the full music library on in the first place and don't really want to go down that route again.
    please if you can give me any advice to get my library on my iPad from the cloud please help.....

    There are two ways to sync music across your computers and devices (e.g., iPads, iPhones).
    One (the "traditional" method) is to connect a cable between the PC or Mac and the device, open iTunes, and sync all or some of your music.
    The cloud method requires an iTunes Match subscription ($25/year in the US, £22/year in UK). With this method, you sign up, and all your iTunes music is copied up to the cloud, where it then becomes available on all devices. If you stop the subscription you lose cloud access to the music - however, you should keep a copy of the music in its original location (e.g., the PC you started with), or download everything from the cloud to another authorized computer, to keep a local copy just in case. If you're not sure whether or not you have an iTunes Match subscription active, check your emails from Apple, or just try to sign into iTunes Match on the iPad (Settings - iTunes - iTunes Match) and see if it lets you.
    "Device backup" is a separate thing from "syncing". You can back up an iPad to a computer or to iCloud. Much of your information is backed up - however, it does NOT include music. If the Apple representative told you that an iCloud backup would restore your music, he was mistaken.
    I don't know if that helps you

    Can iPad Air be hooked up to AOC desktop monitor? How? We have older person in home needs larger screen. Thanks.

    YYou can connect with the cables listed above or with an Apple TV device. Keep in mind that and ipad is what it is and was made to be used as it is. I can tell you first hand that what you are trying to do will likely not be of assistance since the ipad is still required as the user interface. Connecting to a larger display maybe fine for watching movies if that's what you have in mind but for overall use the ipad will still have to be used and thus looked at to type and touch. Even with a bt keyboard there are still to many limitations That only a mouse can solve along with a keyboard and display.
    All said, you may be better off looking into, and perhaps using along with the bigger screen, some of the features that can be found in (general-text size) and (general accessibility) settings. Other then that, if you are not mindset on the ipad experience, there are other products on the market that are better suited and more affordable. I have provided care for my mother in law from here 80's to mid 90's. Been there, done that.

  • Has anyone used an iPad Mini as a cell phone replacement?

    Hi all.  As a way to reduce the number of devices in my life, as well as the size of my cell phone bill, I'm contemplating purchasing an iPad mini with a data plan as a replacement for my cell phone, using Skype and other apps to handle communication.  I don't really drive and talk, and I find I'm using the cell phone talking part less and less and seem to talk mostly when I'm in a wireless environment.  I also don't text a whole bunch.  This seems much cheaper than my cell phone with a basic data plan.  Has anyone tried this?

        We would love to help you with a cost for your two phones and to tablets convoyuser826. How much data will you need for two phone lines and tablets.

  • How Can I Tell if My iPad Air Replacement is New or Refurbished

    I'm getting a replacement iPad Air because mine had a problem with it, there were loose magnets in it. I've heard that people have another person's data on apps they have just downloaded and that makes me really uncomfortable.
    How can I tell if my replacement is brand new or just refurbished? Is there info in the serial/model number?
    Thanks.

    You might hear a lot of things on the Internet but that doesn't make them true.
    If you got a refurbished iPad from Apple it would be completely empty.
    Refurbished iPads are identified on the packaging.
    You can see the model number in Settings > Genera l> About > Model. The model number has a two-letter code, a number and some more letters. The last part stands for the country/region. The first letter can be "F" (refurbished), "M" (normal retail), or "P" (personalized / engraved).

  • IPad Air replacement unit

    Hi folks I recently bought a iPad Air 128gb wifi-cellular online .i had the unit a week and I discovered a dead pixel I took it to apple store who confirmed this .their going to replace it within 5 days (apparently they need to order that model in) does anyone know if Apple replace units with refurbished units or new units ? I won't be amused if Apple replace my ipad air with a refurbished unit I've only had it a week.i did not pay hundreds of pounds for what is essentially a second hand unit

    Hi just had Apple on phone this morning saying my replacement ipad is ready to collect from the store and when I questioned if it was a retail unit or as new unit I would be receiving they could not confirm one or the other. I then asked them to supply me the model/serial number of the replacement ipad because I know there's a way to tell from model number if it's retail unit or refurbished unit. They wouldn't tell me and they gave me a bs story apple recycle all parts on their products and I said to them so what your saying is potentially all retails unit you sell could contain refurbished/recycled parts. Cut a long story short I told them I'm not exchanging a one week old ipad for a refurbished unit it's a miniscule tiny mark/bit of dust on the inside of the glass which you can only see under direct light.

  • IPad Air 2 as a phone

    Hi, i am thinking of buying iPad Air 2 to be both my phone and tablet. Can i insert sim into it and use it as a phone in any country?

    You can't use any iPad as a phone other than using the handoff feature with iOS 8 but you need to have an iPhone in order for that to work anyway. In addition, you have to be on the same WiFi network and signed into the same Apple ID and iCloud account.
    Bottom line, you can't use the Air as a standalone phone

  • If iPhone needs repair, can I use my old cell phone as back up?

    If I need to send my iPhone in for battery replacement or repair, will I be able to use my previous cell phone until I get my iPhone back?
    The newly posted iPhone Service FAQ states that Apple will be "renting" AppleCare Service iPhones for $29. I realize that none of the info stored on the SIM will transfer to my old phone, but I can always sync contacts to that phone from my computer, and I'd rather do that than shell out $29 for a loaner.
    By the way, don't most cell companies provide loaner phones for free? Why is Apple charging $29... other than because they can.

    Definitely...your iPhone sim card will work fine in any of our current phone models (as long as they are gsm/cingular/at&t...yada yada yada). Voice service will be instantly transfered to the phone and your data service will continue to work with the temporary phone's browser...Just remember, the opposite isn't true. You can't take the sim out of another phone and expect it to work in the iPhone without repeating iActivation. Hope this helps!

  • Help with iPad Air Replacement? When will it arrive?

    Hey guys, this is my first time here so hopefully im doing everything correctly.
    Basically, I recently ordered a NEW iPad Air a few days ago (two days ago). It still has active warranty. However, as soon as i opened it and turned on the screen, i Noticed that the left side had a yellow tint which really bothered me.
    So I ordered an iPad replacement, and apple just sent me an email saying that they'll ship a box in which i can put my iPad in and send it to them.
    Here are my questions:
    1). Lets say I get my replacement, and it has a similar issue or some other issue. Will I be able to send in the replacement for another replacement?
    2). Will the replacement have an active warranty?
    3). Will the replacement iPad be new or refurbished?
    4). When will I get my replacement iPad (average). One week, two weeks, couple of days...etc.?
    5). Will I have to ship my original iPad via USPS, FED EX, UPS...etc? I have a USPS post office right next to my house so its very convenient for me if its USPS. Not so if its FED EX or UPS...I'm currently living in Maryland, USA
    Thank you guys! Sorry for the long questions, but I'm really stumped right now. I can't believe a $600 product has such as screen defect Thanks to everyone who answers this in advance!
    Also, where do I post questions like these to? I couldn't find any community related to apple support, and this was the closest category...sorry for any confusion.

    If you are getting a network timeout then try temporarily turning off your firewall and antivirus software until the download has completed.

  • Can ipad air wifi cellular be used for making mobile calls?

    Can ipaid air (Wifi+cellular) be used for mobile calling ?

    Not 'normal' phone calls as you would with a mobile phone - you can do calls such as with FaceTime or the Skype For iPad app, and you may find other apps in your country's app store that allow you to make calls

  • Can't connect Samsung WIFI cell phone to Tmobile using Airport time capsule

    I am using Tmobile for cell phone service and Comcast for high speed internet. I am unable to mske a WIFI cell phone connection. I get Tmobile ISP errors. Talked with Tech support from Apple, Tmobile and Comcast.
    Took the phone and the time capsule to the local Bridgeport apple store. They managed to get the connection up and running with my router. My phone also worked with their store network. We had to open UDP ports 500 and 4500 both ways and also IP protocols 50 and 51 both ways on the time capsule to make it work.
    With the same settings, it does not work at home using Comcast.
    Help is appreciated.

    I still can't use it the way I was hoping because it then becomes a T/M back-up disk and not a normal usb/firewire disc.
    You are first mounting the drive on the desktop, correct?
    Not sure what you mean here.
    You can drag/drop files normally or copy/paste files to the drive icon on the desktop, just as you would a normal drive that is displayed on the desktop.
    Or, double click the drive icon on the desktop and drag/drop files into the open window there.
    Tell us the steps that you are using to mount the drive on the desktop. What happens after each step?
