When you say as a phone, It don't actuly work like a "phone" lol, you can use apps like Skype, fring and so on. And yes iPad 2 or 3 needed because of front facing camera

TBH DD, I don't know if they do 2GB your best bet would probs be going into a shop and asking if you don't find your answer on the website.

Paypal app but it doesn't have good reviews https://itunes.apple.com/gb/app/paypal/id283646709?mt=8

I've not had any real problems with the PayPal app on my iPad when I've had to use it for making payments but I've not went into depth with other features like 'my account' or anything like that.

if it is locked to tmobile/orange and new i would of thought that it would have come on a 12/24 month contact and there fore have a sim with it.

Might be worth trying another micro sim if you can just to test the sim lock.

Hi DD

You need to open iTunes and add the films to your iTunes library
iTunes can only sync content to your iPad if it is actually in your iTunes library first
This will be the same for all your music as well

hope this helps m8
