HT1338 Can I in future use my min iPad as cell phone?

Can I use my iPad as cellphone in future?

Only when you use it in conjunction with an iPhone, you are running iOS 8, you are on the same WiFi network with both devices and while you are signed into the same Apple ID and iCloud account and if you have Settings>FaceTime>iPhone Cellular Calls>On, set up on both devices.
I don't think that Apple will ever make an iPad a standalone phone. That would cut into iPhone sales which are the best selling device that Apple makes. So the simple answer is No.

  • How do I move files in iCloud while using my mini iPad?

    I just recently got an iPad mini with retina display.  This is my first iPad.  There are many things that are new to me.
    At the moment, I'm trying to figure out how to move or delete files in iCloud Drive while using my mini iPad.  As I understand it, the only way to look at, organize or move files in the iCloud drive is to login to iCloud via a browser other than installing a separate specific application that lets me do that.  However, I have found that even if I login to the iCloud drive using a browser, I still can't move or delete files while using the mini iPad although I can view the file list and folder list, create file folders, and use files for which I already have an application installed.
    How do I get around this so that I can do those things?  Do I really have to get a separate application to do that?  If so, what's a good one to use?

    Hi Files get sent to iCloud when you backup this happens Automatically When you charge your iPad Since ios 7 Almost everything can be done over your WiFi Software updates  apps& data can all be synced over WiFi We have  2 iPhones & 3 iPads & have not used PC for over a year. For Apple Devices. Go to ibooks download iPad user guide its Free. Cheers Brian

  • How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ?

    How can I access and use the alphabetical keyboard of the phone ? I cannot find the answer in the manual of use.  Thanks for your help !

    Recently I was abroad and tried to contact my voicemail to check my messages. I was asked to enter a password and did not know how to use the letters below the figures on the keyboard.  I had to give up and wait until I was back in my country (no password is then needed).

  • If I buy the iphone 6 contract free T-Mobile,  is he also unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

    If I buy the new iphone 6 here in US, as a contract free T-Mobile, is he also will be unlocked? Can I use in Brazil with my cell phone company from Brazil? thanks

    Some users are reporting their contract-free T-Mobile iPhone 6 is unlocked, others are saying that they had to activate on T-Mobile and use their network for 40-days to get T-Mobile to unlock the iPhone.
    It would be wise to wait for the release of the Apple unlocked models.

  • How can i get back my missing mini iPad, which was lost on Thursday night?

    How can i get back my missing mini iPad, which was lost on Thursday night?

    Unless you had Find My iPad enabled on it then there isn't any way to locate it. If you did have it enabled then you could try locating it either via http://icloud.com on a computer or Find My iPhone on another device - but that will only work if it's connected to a network and the device hasn't already been wiped and/or Find My iPad disabled on it.
    If you think that it was stolen then you should report it to the police. You should also change your iTunes account password, your email account passwords, and any passwords that you'd stored on websites/emails/notes etc, and if it was a cellular model then you should also contact your carrier

    On your S4 you can set up your iCloud email account with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864, and sync your iCloud contacts and calendars using SmoothSync for Cloud Contacts and SmoothSync for Cloud Calendars, but that's all.  You can't access iTunes.

  • Can i use a mini ipad as a gps

    Hi,
    I have read lots of discussions but they seem to be slating off each other rather than answering the question. Please, without making fun of me, could some kind person help a damsel in distress? If I purchase a mini ipad, can I use it in the car as a gps? I cannot afford to buy both. Thank you, Debby

    Only is it has cellular data.   A wifi only iPad can give turn by turn directions and maps only.

  • 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. What data plan do you currently have on your account and how much data do  you and your wife average per month? You can perform a pricing plan analysis online via My-Verizon http://bit.ly/xB4iTc . I look forward to hearing from you.

  • How can I download firefox to my mini iPad

    I don't know how to download Firefox as my start page on my mini iPad - can someone help me?  I'm new to this little iPad and I'm having trouble figuring it out
    Thanks.

    You can't. There is no version of Firefox for iOS. There are other web browsers available in the iTunes Store if for some reason Safari, the web browser included with your iPad, won't work for you.
    Regards.

  • HT204407 Why does my find friends keep flashing. It is so annoying I have to switch off. I use a mini ipad

    I have a mini iPad. On my find friends it keeps flashing and is driving me crazy. It doesn't do it on my husband iPad though. Please help.

    Not a great answer...  Next time it happens instead of turning Home Sharing on and off I would try shuting off iTunes on the computer and then restarting iTunes.  If ATV can then connect to home sharing the problem is iTunes is hanging.  If that is the case my only idea is re-installing iTunes.
