When the iPad 2 was presented back in March, we were interested to know that the tablet is equipped with GSM connectivity (which is the network used for mobile phone functions), although Apple ruled out the possibility of making calls or send SMS messages with this new model.
However, it seems that the iPad 2 really can be turned into a phone for giants. Although, yes, this option can only be used if it is the model equipped with 3G connection (since it is the one that allows you to install a SIM card). The fact is that with the PhoneIt-iPad application we could make the tablet add to its performance profile the telephone function, even with the iPhone's call interface. Of course, the PhoneIt-iPad application costs $ 20 (about fourteen euros, at the current rate) and requires that we have the terminal unlocked by Jailbreak.
Through Engadget we know that the authors of the application that brought the Facetime functions to the iPhone 3GS have developed a utility that, again, expands the usable options of an Apple terminal.
On this occasion, if we have previously broken the defenses of the system by doing the famous Jailbreak to the iPad, we would be able to download the PhoneIt-iPad application through the Cydia repositories, which, once installed, will turn the tablet into a super phone (what of super is given by the size, not so much in the benefits in calls).
The phone interface in PhoneIt-iPad is the same as in the iPhone, and when we say the same we mean that it resizes the application environment to make calls (something that tablet users will already know if they have installed apps developed for it. signature phone). Remember that if you use this function on your tablet without having contracted call rates (which will be the most logical and plausible thing to do) you risk being billed according to your company's basic pricing plan.
