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

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.

Why can't I pair my iPad Air with an android phone

Why can't I pair my iPad to android phone?

You can send them by email or MMS. You can use a service such as DropBox. You can transfer the photos to a computer and from there to the other device.

I have An IPad Air Cellular. Can I make a call like normal Phone

Can I make a call on IPad Air Cellular as normal Phone??

The cellular part of that it has the ability to transmit and receive cellular data, not make phone calls over the cellular network.
If you also have an iPhone, you can use the new feature quoted below described in Connect your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch using Continuity
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.
Wi-Fi Calling needs to be off.
If you don't also have an iPhone, you can use FaceTime or Skype or Google Voice or other types of apps for calling.

Can two or more devices use the same Apple account with different cell phone numbers. I want to use FaceTime on a my 5s and my wife wants her own FaceTime on a new iPad Air with its own cell number but be linked with me with iCloud to share music

I have a 5s with an apple account and wife has a iPad air with its own cell number. Does the iPad need it's own apple account to use it's own phone number so her FaceTime calls are not sent to my phone. We want to be able to link each device to iCloud and share music, photos, ect. iPad iMessage and FaceTime have my cell number activated.

How do I change the phone number associated with my iPad Air?

During initial setup of my iPhone 5S, I mistakenly assigned that phone number to my iPad Air. How do I change that number to another iPhone my wife has for iMessaging purposes?

Set the iPad up with her Apple ID.

HT4623 I recently switched from an original ipad to the ipad air. Now when people text me, the messages go to my cell phone and to the new ipad. I don't want my text messages going to both devices. How can I change this?

Is there a way to stop receiving my text messages on both of my devices? I have an ipad air and an iphone. People text my phone number and it goes to my phone and the ipad, but this only started happening when I upgraded from the original ipad to the ipad air.

If you do not want the text messages to go to the iPad (that is what I assume from your post) go to Settings>Messages>Send and Receive at>You can be reached by iMessages at>uncheck your iPhone number in there. Do this on the iPad.
You can always just turn messages off as well in Settings>Messages>iMessage>Off.

My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download..."

My iPad air is missing some apps from my phone. It keeps saying, " there is not enough storage available to download...." I purchased additional storage twice, my device now shows 18GB free of a total 25GB, and still I cannot download apps I've had for yrs

iCloud space is for backup only.
You need more local storage; free up space on iPad:
Settings>General>Usage>Storage>Delete what is not needed to free up space on iPad.

HT4101 Has anyone found a way to download pictures from Samsung Gala xy 3 phone to Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but keeps giving me the message uses too much power.

Has anyone found a way to download pictures fro Samsung Galaxy 3 phone to the Ipad air? I bought the lightning adapter but I keep getting the message device uses too much power. Any ideas?

You can't directly from a Galaxy phone. But you can certainly upload the pictures from your Galaxy phone to your computer and then sync them to your iPad via iTunes.

IPad Air does not appear online when using "Find my Phone"

Curious why my iPad Air appears "offline" in the Find my Phone app when it is in sleep mode. All of my other devices (iPhone 5 & iPhone 4) both appear online (and on the map) even though they are sleeping.
All devices are running ios7 and are connected to the same wifi network.

Hey there MntnBikeCT,
It sounds like you have the iPad Air setup with Find my iPhone but you are not able to locate with the app on a different device, but other devices work just fine. I suggest these steps from the article named:
iCloud: Troubleshooting Find My iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, or Mac
http://support.apple.com/kb/TS4006
"No location available," "Offline," or "Location Services Off" alerts
This can occur if:
The date on your device is incorrect. Choose Settings > General > Date & Time to check and set the date.
Your iOS device is currently off or not connected to a data network (Edge, 3 or 4G, or Wi-Fi). Wait a few minutes and try again.
Your iPad (Wi-Fi only), iPod Touch, or Mac is currently off or not connected to a Wi-Fi network.
Location Services is not enabled on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod Touch (Settings > Privacy) or on your Mac (Date & Time) preferences. Learn more about Location Services on your Mac:
OS X Mountain Lion or later
OS X Lion
You are located in a country where Apple does not offer this feature. This feature may not be available in all countries due to technical limitations or local law.

My iphone 4s suddenly lost all my appts. on my calendar and all my personally assigned ring tones. I just received a ipad air and did nothing that I know of to change anything on my phone.

Help! I am a newbie at this. Have an Iphone 4s has been working fine. I use my calendar for appts. and I have assigned ringtones for certain contacts. Today for no reason that I know of the calendar is empty and the special ringtones are gone. I just received an ipad air and have beenplaying with it. That is the only different variable. I dont know what I did to make the calendar erase as well as the ringtones.
Thank you for any help!

You will have to do more than simply changing settings in your moms account. To set up everything in your own account, go to Settings > iCloud > scroll down and press sign out. From this, check out this link for how to setup iCloud on all of your devices after making a new icloud account on your phone: https://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/
Before you set that up, you will have to make a new iCould account which you can simply do after you sign out of your mom's account on your devices.
Hope I can help!
