A "Showerthought" is a simple term used to describe the thoughts that pop into your head while you're doing everyday things like taking a shower, driving, or just daydreaming. The best ones are thoughts that many people can relate to and they find something funny or interesting in regular stuff.
Rules
- All posts must be showerthoughts
- The entire showerthought must be in the title
- Avoid politics (NEW RULE as of 5 Nov 2024, trying it out)
- Posts must be original/unique

Except the actual phone part.
pretty sure my son with an android tablet and my daughter with a iPad can both still make phone calls lol. They are literally megaphones.
There are VoIP options, sure, but not the actual phone bands.
I'm pretty sure you can get cell data on iPads now, it's pretty interesting that you can't make calls with them even when they have sim cards (or eSim)
A quick search says they can only do wifi calling by relaying your iPhone to your iPad
For all phones there is sim card ability(afaik) Only half of the tablets have that
