Ok is android any better? I assume it is the carrier / apple agreement that is blocking voip functions.

this month I just went $185 over my mins on my $80/mnth near maximum Roger voice data plan on my cell phone.... 1600 mins total with 35 cents per min for overage.

Would use my iPad for about 50% of those mins using skype and a blue tooth headset. Eg blueant when in the car.

skype works well on the ipad but is rendered useless without a headset

In Canada we have had very limited expensive voice and data plan that really penalize the heavy user as compared to the States

if the iPad had a built in camera and voip capacity. Wow!




So yes I understand that carriers will lose the. Terrible. Voice mins rip off

Be aware that even though Skype is free with registered users on a computer, if you use it with the iPad on a 3G network they will charge you after one free month of use.

Not sure I follow. Who will charge you of you use it on a 3G network beyond one month? Carrier? Skype?

If you're making calls to the US, download the app Whistle. It plays a 15 second commercial (sometimes) and the calls you make are free. They even provide you a phone number in which others can call you at.

Skype will charge you. They know you're on 3G. A popup appears telling you about charges.

Skype app is available in iTunes for free. Although it's an iPhone app, it works with the iPad. Just hit the 2x for a bigger view.
