I'm buying a iPad Mini w/ retina for my uncle in Italy. He wants to use it as a phone as well , and I want to know if he will be able to since they have different carriers there.
The carrier doesn't matter. The mini isn't a phone.
Cellular carrier list.
the iPad mini w/ retina , has an option of either being just wifi or wifi w/ cellular
That is true. But there is a big difference between a cellular data plan that the mini uses and a voice and data plan the iPhone uses. Use the link I provided and contact the carrier.
Cellular allows the mini to get internet connection without needing a wifi router
The iPad DOES NOT make phone calls.
If you purchases it here, he cannot get warranty service in Italy. Warranties are honored only in the country where purchased.
Buy the IPad in Italy.
