Hmm. Don't agree with answers. MagicJack has app that can be used on iPad. If wifi available no cell service needed. To make calls it is free. To receive calls you need to sign up. $20 a year, yes a year. Use earbuds for private conversation. Well at least others won't hear what the other person says. Works great. I'm told sound quality is good. Gotta love iPad.

Apple Responds
For iPad, you can get a Data plan with the carrier you chose for your iPad. The iPad would be able to get a data plan for Internet services but it would not be a cell plan with minutes and texting.

Not real cellphone service. But if you have wifi you can use an app like talkatone to make and receive calls from actual phone numbers.

It would appear that it does, according to the Apple web site. From the menu bar on the main apple page, click iPad. Next, find the tab for specs partway down the screen and click on that.
The starter model of iPad that has cellular is $629. You can have AT&T, Sprint, or Verizon... good deal, really.- Answered by Debbie M from Avon
