Now that our iPad 2 is jailbroken, has anyone installed the phoneit iPad app for the iPad 2? This is the app that was developed by iPhone Islam and turns your iPad into an phone.

3g only i believe as it uses cellular networks to place calls and send text messages, which means u need the 3g radio and not the WIFI only which would use VOIP

It works only on the 3G version. The repo is http://apps.iphoneislam.com/

It cost $20 but turns your iPad into a fully functional "iphone" with text capability.

I just wanted to make sure it works for the iPad 2 before I buy the program. It is unfortunate that they have a trial on this product. It claims to work for iPad 1 3G though.

So it doesn't work in WiFi? It's not worth spending $20 to try it out.

It ONLY works on 3G, its not a maybe, its a definitive.
The Wifi only version of the iPad does not have the required hardware to interface with the gsm/3g antennas which phone and texting uses.

the question isn't weather it works on the Wifi, its weather it works on the iPad 2 3g+WiFi.

Have they ever updated it past release, even once? Is a new update on its way?
I'm uncertain how well it works, how stable it is, but is it as good as they advertise? I think I'll land on paying for it, but i'd rather test it first.

I am pretty sure if it works on ipad 1 3g on 4.3.3 then there is a good chance it will be work in the ipad 2 3g as well. Also since the ipad 2 supports bluetooth headset profile, the calls can come throigh bluetooth headset as well unlike the ipad 1.

how does this work? I take it you have to have ATT or Verizon pre paid service enabled?

IPad is factory unlocked works with any micro sim, at least with ATT or T-Mobile in USA. I'm on TMO and BIL is on ATT so I know both of those work. As always ymmv.
