I'm not going to try calling with iPad. Not to start a war, but Android has far more choice in the apps I want. I figure the phone is there for MY convenience, no matter what the rest of the world thinks. If I want to read, I want to read and be left alone to enjoy myself.
The iPad will let me download episodes of a craft show to watch later which I like. I can take the iPad to what I'm doing. Android doesn't do this, nor does it seem to have any kind of a vector drawing app. I looked through the whole app store for iPad and didn't find as much as Android has. I pay for the apps and glad to.
I prefer to carry as little as possible. Android does have astronomy, birding, flower, tree apps for nature study, you can get PDFs of directions for photography not to mention your camera manual. You can also get road logs for geological study while driving the National Parks. That's quite a bit for a 6 inch or so device.
TMO has had wifi calling forever. I remember it on flip phones. I just need to find out if a certain phone is supported as I'd love to get the other half an iPad so he can chat with his kid in the UK via Viber. He uses a flip phone which won't install Viber, and doesn't like typing on the flip, nor does he like typing on my phone. I wind up in conversations between them. Can also use iPad for a Roku remote.
Neither one of us cares to read on a tablet. We both prefer the lit, flatter screens of dedicated ereaders.
