I have an original iPad (hence limited to IOS 5.x) with a 3G
interface.  I haven't yet purchased a cellular plan for it, but am
willing to do so IF it can do what I want.  (If not, since I spend 95%
of my waking hours where I have Wifi access, I can just go on ignoring
the 3G part....)

  My wife has lost much of her vision, but it's possible that she could
use a keypad the size of the iPad screen, if it can be made to function
as a cell phone.  I have an impression that an app to do this was kind
of popular a few years ago, but Googling "use ipad as a phone" these
days seems mostly to find YouTube videos about using it with Google
Voice, which I don't think is quite what I want...
  So:  Does anyone know of an app to get an iPad with 3G capability to
function as an oversize cell phone?
