iPad FAQ: How Effective is the iPad in Replicating iPhone Functions? Part 1

For the purpose of this series, we will discuss the iPad Wi-Fi version. Obviously, the Wi-Fi version does not give users the same flexibility and range of motion as the just-released 3G version does, but it still allows you to keep functional when you are in the range of a wireless network that you can log into or use. With a little creativity and using the iPad to its maximum potential, you can make it perform many functions that allow it to serve as somewhat of a “virtual iPhone.”
Using the iPad for Calling The fact that we are using the Wi-Fi version of the iPad restricts its capabilities as a device for making calls. As soon as you remove yourself from the Wi-Fi network's range that you are using, the iPad's internet connectivity will be voided. Still, if you can be stationary for awhile and have to make some calls, you should be good to go. Provided you are connected to a wireless network, you can use Skype to make outgoing phone calls. The iPad will function as a phone, with you using its integrated microphone to speak through and its integrated speakers to listen to the person on the other end. If you want more clarity, just plug in some headphones.

Receiving phone calls is a bit more complicated, as you will have to keep the Skype application open to do so. If the person on the other end is a Skype user, you will have no problem with getting an incoming call. If they are calling from standard phone, however, you will need to get a SkypeIn or online number, which will cost you a fee but it does allow you to receive incoming calls from cell phones or land lines. Once you get this number, you can use the iPad as a virtual phone to accept calls, and if you have the Skype application open, you can receive calls right on the device. You can also use the SkypeIn number to forward calls from your iPhone to the iPad. So, although it is not the perfect solution, particularly due to Wi-Fi limitations, the iPad can actually replace the iPhone in certain conditions for making and receiving calls. Skype is not the only method to do so, but it is a common solution. Stay tuned for the next part in this FAQ series, where you will be shown how the iPad can be used to replicate the iPhone's text messaging, instant messaging, and email features.
