VoIP, Skype,hangouts etc work...Thanks. Under "Cellular and Wireless" on http://www.apple.com/ipad-pro/specs/ , I see "Data only". Does that mean I cannot use the iPad PRO like an iPhone to make/receive phone calls?

cell phone carriers perceive your ipad with its bigger screen will generate more data charges then phones with smaller screens, and this is why some carriers like t-mobile do not want you putting voice sims in ipads.
i have owned iPads dating back to the original cellular ipad. i never in my life have owned a wifi only ipad. and this is not the first time i could not put a voice sim in an ipad. perhaps the cellular companies are more flexible now , and i didn't get the memo
Yes, perhaps you didn't get the memo. I do it on Verizon all of the time.
AT&T has go phone sims. they are a voice sim that does not work on iPads either. if you insert an AT&T go phone sim in an ipad, it will not even connect to the cell tower. its a useless brick.
and the funny thing is they have this special sold separately AT&T go phone sim that costs $15 that is specifically for the ipad 3 or the original ipad mini 1.
AT&T claims that no other ipad will work with this sim
i asked AT&T several times whats the deal here with this sim?? , why are you charging people $15 for a sim card and only limiting to these two iPads??? , when i can just go into any AT&T store and get a free sim card for any cellular enabled ipad i have ???
they never responded to me. they censored my questions. i got an email back saying i was muted.
i think they are charging you $15 so you can pay cash for your ipad plan
so i would say verizon is the exception here.
Exception or not your statement was a blanket no you can't do it, and that's clearly not the case.
It also works with Cricket SIMs so I suspect there are other "exceptions" as well.
The Apple sim is good except for Verizon you need a verizon simThe iPad is very different then the iPhone. The iPads come with Apple Sim which allows you to go to any carrier in the US and over seas.
