I'm sure I've seen people using it but I can only find the kakaotalk app for iPhone in my app store.

Does anyone know how to get it? I use the UK app store if that makes a difference.

says it works fine on ipad/touch there.

"You can use Kakao Talk on an iPad/iPod Touch. Install the application and enter a phone number which you can receive the SMS verification code on. You can use the same KakaoTalk service on your iPad/iPod Touch once the SMS verification process is successfully completed."

that's assuming u have a number to receive the verification code text.

That and if the phone number you use for the verification is already being used for Kakaotalk, you can't do it. At least I couldn't. I tried to install it on my wifi-only Android tablet, and when verifying I got a message saying that in order to use Kakaotalk on the tablet, I would have to uninstall it from my iPhone. Bah.

sorry, but dont have an answer for ur last question. would recommend going to kakaotalk support for that.

A friend of mine has 3G ipad that uses Kakaotalk on it. He uses the iphone version. Don't think there is Ipad version out there.

PS. He's korean

The problem (I think) here is that Kakaotalk can only be used once per phone number. The OP is trying to find a way to use it on two different devices, but only has the one phone number. I don't think it's possible.

that is correct. when I tried to install kakaotalk onto my ipad, it states other device will be disabling the kakaotalk.

As Underwaterbob stated, it's not possible. I could see why they won't allow it. It would overload there servers sending out multiple messages and notifications for one number but multiple devices.

I never got it working on my tablet because I didn't want to uninstall it from my phone.
