So my friend bought an iPad Pro 9.7 inch in slate gray and an apple smart cover in the same color. He said he was considering getting the iPad with a Sim card so that he could use it as a phone. I told him as far as I know you have to connect it to your iPhone and then you can use it as a connected device only. But he insists that the guy at Costco said he could've used his iPad Pro independently, but how could that be? I never heard of this before and I know there are apps for the iPad to make calls if I'm not mistaken but who is correct here????

he ended up not getting the Sim card available iPad Pro just the regular Wi-Fi, but we are still trying to figure out if it is possible to make calls with the iPad Pro without being connected to an iPhone?
