As a volunteer tech who works with seniors, they are a population who are challenged with new technology. Many own the mini iPad which are seldom used, and this seems to be a great way to utilize them. Thanks for the intuitive video.

I’d love to use an iPad Mini as my daily driver but the fact it doesn’t have a dedicated app for WhatsApp is a dealbreaker for me. For those of us who live outside the US/Canada, WhatsApp is the main messaging/calling app and the fact I can’t use it on the iPad without an iPhone is redundant.

Apple Watch workaround:
After hours of research I had the epiphany that if you buy a cellular Apple Watch you can use the family integration to configure it without an additional iPhone.

PS:I love the idea and would appreciate an alternative for non-US citizens to Google Voice / Skype

Just ordered one! Main issues for me are (besides a few others): no Face ID, no Apple Pay, no OLED display, shorter battery life. Despite all that, if fits well in my pocket, will keep it!

I sub because you are the first to post a video on doing it. I am buying an Ipad Mini 6 just off of your damn

Android has been doing tablet phones for over a decade. i love tablet phones, i prefer Android over iOS but I need iphone for only one purpose, once they adopt more android functions, then i could completely switch but for now, i am looking for a great ipad, and if this one actually takes a sim card, then it will definitely be worth checking out.

[yamiteru]

Ok I'm gonna start saving up for this crazy experiment! I'm ready to get rid of my phone completely.

Android guy here to chime in. I wanted to see if this is possible with the iPad mini because of course this has already been implemented in Android for many years. There aren't any limitations with android except the device's hardware. I currently use an 8.7 Samsung tablet for all of these things and we aren't limited. I use my actual phone number in the tablet sim tray as I would with any phone. It's just a bigger display phone. However, the device isn't up to today's standards of performance but is passable. I was willing to switch to the iPad mini due to its superior performance, but I see Apple is still flexing the ball and chain around making it fully functional. The biggest qualm I have is that you don't get text messages from your actual number from those who don't have iMessage? Is this true? I'm not interested in doing a workaround. I just want to insert my SIM card and have it function like a large phone.

If I was a sole iPhone user - the mini would def become my "new phone" - and have a mini 13 or 12 nearby for moments I wanted to hole the phone natively - or an even older device just to pair the device and keep that iPhone stationary and solely use my iPad Mini

My mom still uses a landline with no cellphone and I’m thinking about making her switch. I think this will be a perfect thing.

One great thing about the iPad it has an Audio Jack
So wired phones or buds keep your iPad tethered near yo your person while you can just answer a phone call by pushing one button

not even having to have the stupid Bluetooth on thet is randomly disconnecting left or right channels every now and again

I am dine/sick o relaying by Bluetooth

[violetblue]

Having ipad mini here. I dont think it can be use as phone substitution. But it can be used as complimenter, meaning you dont need gigantic screen on your phone anymore since you watch video and do browsing on ipad while go mobile like listening music and jogging using iphone. Eventhought it called “mini” it still too big to carry around.

[MatteoCeccarini]

Several people are trying this, but this video is the most informative so far!
I am doing it!

[josemanuel]

The best review I have seen about this topic. Thanks!

[jfpdc]

This is really cool. Thank you for making this video!! All The Best!

[Striker-]

pretty cool outside of the box vid keep at it

[JakeTheBeastPrez]

Thank you for making this video. I'm trying to see if this method will work for my dad who mostly stays at home.

5:17 The iPad mini is a very satisfying proudct.

[wavingcat]

Well I was interested in it (or any cellular iPad) partly as a device backup device for in case I have problems with my phone, so I never get stuck without a way of contacting people. This makes it seem even more reasonable an idea than I thought. I already call and text my son on his iPad mini when he has wifi, so I knew it could at least work with Apple devices. This google app seems like it gives us the same ability with other devices. Pretty cool!

[PointWithin]

I’m planning on getting a cellular iPad mini and pair it to my vehicle over Bluetooth just like my iPhone. Then have it mounted and use it the same way. My truck doesn’t have CarPlay so it should work.
