Sure. All you need is WIFI access.\u00a0 Basically the non 3G iPad is an iPad on steroids. So if you could get your ipod touch to do a VoIP call, then you can do it on your iPad… And there are plenty of Apps to choose from.<\/p>\n

iPad with the back removed... Ah ha!<\/p><\/div>\n

Line2 has the most professional options. (My Review of Line2)<\/a> I like that you have a dedicated number with mailbox, redirect, quite times, and can support calling in as well.\u00a0 HOWEVER, the app has to be running for you to get an incoming call. I think that will be sorted once jailbreak is in place and we can run that app in the background.<\/p>\n

There are plenty of other options; Skype, TruPhone; Fring, Google Voice (requires jailbreak)\u00a0 I have a list posts on VoIP here<\/a>, so you can read and choose the best app for you.<\/p>\n

You may also want to invest in a good wire or bluetooth headset. Holding that big iPad to your head is optimal and it makes you look plain silly. \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n
