Also, when you purchase your copy of PhoneItiPad from Cydia, you won’t need to do any hardware alterations in order to turn your 3G iPad into a calling, texting phone. Once you install this tweak, it will make FaceTime calls, send sms messages and allow you to make phone calls just like any normal phone would. However, only first generation jailbroken 3G iPads will be able to use PhoneItiPad, as the iPad 2 can’t be jailbroken as of now.

Step 2: Once the unique ICCID has been copied, go here to purchase PhoneItiPad for yourself. Enter the ICCID when you’re prompted to.
Step 3: Once you have purchased your copy of PhoneItiPad, fire up Cydia on your 3G iPad and add this repo: http://apps.iphoneislam.com
