   Hi Carlos,   
   Oh. OK. I apologize for missing that key point from Steve.   
   Thanks for clarifying.   
      
   I don't have a "phone" SIM in the iPad; I only have a "data" SIM.   
   What's interesting is that usually both Steve & nospam know this stuff.   
      
   So it's odd that they disagree if you put it that way, which is...   
   I guess, based on that... what will happen is...   
      
   1. If I plug my phone SIM into an Android tablet, it will make   
      and receive POTS/mobile calls...   
      
   2. But... if I do the same with the iPad... it won't.   
      
   Is that what Steve and nospam are arguing about?   
   a. Steve says it doesn't work, while   
   b. nospam says it does?
