I was going to do that, but decided no to this time. Maybe next year I might do this. The iPad, or other tablet with LTE does most of what the phone does, except for the phone itself. So, why not?
I guess what that guy is mainly saying is that if you have an iPAD that you use for the internet then you should consider getting a less expensive cell phone over the more expensive ones. So you don't have to necessarily go with a flip phone.
I saw the thread title and thought it should be reversed: Do you really need an iPad if you have a smartphone?
Yup, that's the better option, no way I'd carry a tablet around with me, why carry 2 devices instead of one? My tablet (Nexus 7) stays home, my phone (Nexus 4) stays with me.
When will cellular technology allow me to use either a phablet or a phone on the same phone line?
That is the real solution.
I suppose modularity in design will be the development that will deliver that. Plug the radio module into the desired device, and off you go.
Until then, I'm the guy with the 6" smart phone and the 10" tablet.

You can do it with Google Voice. I use it for my landline and can also make calls with it on my tablet and phone. I get voice mesages on my home answering machine and on my devices.

GSM already allows for this without a radio module switch. Just switch the SIM card.
