So what do you call the Note 8? Why is it a phablet and an iPad Mini with cellular running a VoIP app not one?
Because the mini is a tablet first, and a phone second with a VOIP app, unlike the "ph" which comes first before "ablet" as with actual phablets. 'Phablet' is a label for a particular size range/form factor that the mini just doesn't fit into, period.
The ipdad with a VOIP app is little more than an also-ran phone.
VOIP apps are just phone software to use your data (cell or home internet) instead of the cell voice signals. In all other ways it is just a phone that makes and receives calls and can do texts. So while from a practical standpoint it would be awkward to use a tablet, there is no difference in the end result of what a phone is all about.
Hell, the 'smartphone' you have is using an 'app' to interface you to the cell voice circuitry, just as a VOIP app is doing to use cell data to accomplish the same end result.
Dance around that a bit!! :)
