It can be. Every iPad has a microphone. If you want to make a call you would have to have an app. I would recommend Skype. It is free. It is free to call anybody in the world that has an account.

∙ 12y agoIn my opinion no, I believe for the same price you pay for an iPad you could get a laptop that would do much more. I think it comes down to what your purpose is for you buying an iPad.
Here are some examples of some major differences between the two to consider if you are thinking of buying an iPad.
-An iPad and a laptop are both mobile.
-There is currently no camera on the iPad but you can find cameras on laptops. these cameras can allow you to use skype and other programs.
-There is more memory on a laptop than an iPad.
-You can browse the web, transfer files via usb, watch a movie using the disk drive, maybe write an essay using word, and Photoshop some plus more more on a laptop. The iPad's main purpose was to make internet browsing a better experience but honestly for the money you pay a laptop can still perform more task.
-If you are worried about apps and such buy an itouch its cheaper and can still access most of the apps in the app store and it is more pocketable than an iPad. Also, if you have money to spend buy a mac computer/laptop and you can access the mac app store and view your favourite apps on your computer (if they are available)
-The iPad is not customizable to the extent a laptop or desktop can be.
Some good points about the iPad are:
-The iPad is good for watching videos if you download them from iTunes/ the internet. However the iPad can't render hd.
-When you surf the internet you see a full view of the page so you don't need to scroll to see the whole page. This could be convenient.
-there are plenty of apps for the iPad and multiplayer games.
-The Ipad is more pocketable than a laptop
-You can pay for 3g on a iPad, where as for a laptop you would have to buy an internet stick.
-People think your rich when you walk around with an iPad. It's also a nice thing to own if you value vanity.
hope this helps
