Now Call From 3G iPad :)
PhoneIt-iPad Now Fully Supports iOS 5 Running On 3G iPad
If you like the idea of using your iPad as a fully functional phone, now you can. Thanks to a hack by iPhoneIslam, iPad users running the new iOS 5 update can install PhoneIt-iPad and start making calls right from their device.
The app comes with a hefty price tag of $19.99. The benefits may outweigh the cost, but that will depend on each person. Once you download the hack, you can activate it online by entering your iPad’s serial number. Keep in mind: you won’t be able to switch the serial number to a different device. Once installed, it’s a one-device per purchase.
Now before you go and buy the software there are a few things you should know.
For one, the hack only works on the original iPad with 3G, and that’s probably because there is currently no jailbreak available for iPad 2 on iOS 5. So if you have the second-generation iPad or ones with Wi-Fi only capabilities, you’re out of luck, for now at least.
Secondly, a plain ‘ole data SIM card won’t work. You’ll need to get a hold of an activated SIM card with mobile service. Basically, if you can use the SIM card in a phone and make calls, you can use it on an iPad to make calls.
The developers behind the hack are promising an iPad 2 version soon:
Right now we do not support iPad 2 yet because the hardware is totally different and we need to adjust PhoneIt-iPad to work on iPad 2 as smooth as it was on iPad 1. We can not expect when it will be ready but we working hard on that to finish it as soon as possible, Please check back.
You can find PhoneIt-iPad now under the following repo in Cydia: http://apps.iphoneislam.com.
