No smartphone here but we do have an iPad. We travel with our iPad and use it like a smartphone ( the Verizon wireless service for the iPad is only $20 per month). We like the maps, apps, watching videos, reading books, etc on our iPad so much better than a smartphone. We can use the iPad for Uber, etc. We can also text from the iPad, so much easier for our old eyes to type on the iPad.
If you need to use Uber and don't have a smartphone or an iPad you can call GOGOGrandparents and they will arrange Uber for you for a small fee.
Which app. do you use to text? iMessage? WhatsApp?
How do you call people using your IPad?
My guess is some kind of VOIP app. For instance you could install Skype and buy Skype Out credit to make calls to phones.
Also the iPads with cellular connections do get assigned a number with the SIM. But there is no regular Phone app. like there is in the iPhone. So you'd have to use VOIP app. which uses the data from the cellular network rather than the voice part of the cell network.
In many cases, VOIP can be better sound-quality wise.
