HEY ALL YOU galaxy tab 10.1 owners...
was wondering is it possibile to insert sim and recieve sms...mms and make calls
thanks...
To be very short: nope. Not with the standard firmware.
Yes, you can send and receive sms and mms messages with stock firmware. It is not possible to make phone calls.
but is there a tweaked firmware that allows to make call

As far as I know, no.
as stated before sms and mms is working - call is not supported by HC :-(
thats sad. thought with all the talent we have here on xda someone would have already figured it out... from what i have reading....the tab has the hardware for it......
ah well keep hoping

i really hope and i think it has the hardware.. as tab 8.9 has that call feature.
Is there any way to disable the SMS feature as well?
If I insert my sim into my tablet, I only want to use the data connection (incase my phone battery dies and I cant use wifi tethering anymore).
I want my SMS to stay with the provider and only be delivered to my mobile when I charge it and switch it back on.
Is this possible?
I think you can uninstall the message app, but i am not sure. But why dont you just get a simcard for data only, it will also saving you for swapping the sim

Samsung Galaxy 10.1 3G T-Mobile making VOICE CALLS
I just purchased >Groove IP from the Market for $5.99> went in to my gVoice settings and forwarded the calls to my mobile phone and gtalk> and I can make and receive calls. I have tried it over 3G and wifi and it works flawlessly and it is very clear. Good Luck and Good Calling!
Got the Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G here in Ireland and am wondering if this can send and receive SMS?

Why would someone want to use the 10.1" GT for voice - apart from being cumbersome and unwieldy even if there is bluetooth.... This is more personal entertainment and to an extent an excellent business tool alternative especially when you do not wish to lug the laptop but still need email and similar functionality.

Hello guys,
does anybody knows how to make phone calls with the samsung GT-P7100 galaxy tab 10.1v? got my simcard in it and dont know how to call, sending smses, and how to get all my contacts on my tab wich one i got on my simcard?? are there any apps for it ?
Kind regards,

To get contacts, sync your contacts to GMAIL then sync your gmail account.
Search the appstore for textfree with voice. Or just use Google Voice.

But the phone contacts in GMAIL. And I think that if you email someone's phone at their service provider, it will be sent to them as an SMS.
Code:
[email protected]
For an example. I'm 90% sure that's correct (can't remember where I read it), so try it out on your phone first. Tell me if it works!

dont think this will work, there was someone on a dutch forum asked the same, but samung made a mistake on there website about the discription. in the discriptions they were saying you can call and text someone trough your provider, so one off them contacted with samsung and they said it was a mistake on ther website
Oh, IDK then
so,ok i'm confused.
is there a way to make phone calls with the 10.1v? I mean with the sim card and a dialer and all.
otherwise i don't get it why they have a handsfree with the device...
I'm kinda interested in this too.. the tab 10.1v didn't come with a dialer app, when other apps tied to make a phone call I just get a prompt asking if I wanna save the number in my contacts and that's it.
ironically according to Vodafone AU, they encourage you to use Skype or VOIP to make phone calls...even the plan for the Tab is data only (although if you put the SIM in another phone you'll be able to make GSM calls at exorbitant rates).
P.S. the handsfree is for VOIP/Skype dialing - or so as it was intended by design.
The android 3.0 is only for tablet, no phones at all, so this OS is not designed for mobile phones, so all android 3.0 tablet cannot make a phone call, as well as moto Xoom.
However, some guys may crack this operating system and add some codes( something like that ) and make the tablet can be calling. As far as I know, moto Xoom can make a phone call but it is unstable. Perhaps we need more people to get this tablet to develop this phone call function

I'm not so sure that's true... I'm pretty certain that Honeycomb is quite capable of making and receiving phone calls, but I doubt that carriers want that functionality for all the same reasons that US carriers gimped the US versions of the 7" Tab. Selling a single device that "does it all" is bad for business.
If you look in this video, you can see at various points where you're given an option to make a voice call, and in the settings screen, you have a "Call settings" option in there, but whether or not we will actually be able to do that when the device is released, is another question altogether...
Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 live first look
I'm also interested in this (wither the 10.1 Tab is able to do voice calls).
For the guy who said "Honeycomb cant make phone calls"
http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gal...eview_amazingly_packs_telephony-news-2709.php
Appearntly the Samsung Tab 8.9 is able to do voice calls, you can do it using your contacts, .. or by using a 3rd party dialer from market.
The Samsung Galaxy Tab 8.9 has just arrived in our office and, boy, do we have some news for you. It turns out that the Honeycomb slate takes on from where its 7” predecessor left off, and brings native telephony capabilities to an even larger form factor.
Yeap, we are talking regular GSM network phone calls and even some video-calls if you wish. There’s no dialer on board, but you can either get a 3rd party app from the market (as we did), or use your contacts list for initiating calls.

I don't think we're talking about making phone calls with a 3rd party VoIP services like Skype or Tango. We're talking about making native GSM carrier switched phone calls in exactly the same manner as you can with the 7" Tab (and regular ol' mobile phones of course).
GSM? Please say yes.
Been using my 7 inch with ATT and rotohammer's rom on it to make calls since the device was released. I would love to get the 10.1 but can't see going back to using two devices, voip is not an option.
My two questions:
1. Will ATT be carrying this device
2. Can it be modified to use GSM phone service, (not skype)

this is an old issue that we have found out how to work around. Get the tethering plan and they don't mind you using you tab as a 'do everything' device. It was the iphone unlimited data plan that made the execs at att get their big girl panties in a wad. You have to be willing to pay for it, which I am, but it works great. Now, back to my questions, aside from att issues, does the 10.1 device have the ability to be used as a gsm phone?

Well, I guess that's my issue then; I'm not willing to let go of my unlimited data plan (either of them) so, I'm just using it as a data only device for now with my Laptop Connect SIM instead.
Back on topic though, as for being able to use the 10.1(v) inch tab as a GSM phone, from a purely hardware standpoint, there's no technical reason why it can't. Even GSM/UMTS devices which are branded as "data-only" devices, such as aircard modems, are capable of making and receiving ordinary GSM phone calls, provided you have the right software to utilize those functions. (I should know, I used to make regular phone calls from my Sierra Wireless 870 all the time). Now, whether or not carriers will allow the manufacturer to ship their devices with those calling abilities out-of-box, is an entirely different matter...
So, to summarize:
Is the Galaxy Tab 10.1, 10.1v, 8.9, etc. capable of making and receiving GSM phone calls the same way a GSM phone can? Yes, probably.
Will carriers support this innate hardware capability and allow users to make and receive regular GSM phone calls to and from their tablet devices? Probably not.
That's why I brought up my older post. Not because it isn't still an issue for that specific device, but rather because it's still an issue on the principle that US carriers (not just AT$T), apparently will deliberately cripple new technology in order to force us, the consumers, into buying more of their crap when we don't necessarily need to. E.g. forcing us to buy two line subscriptions, one for data, and one for both voice and data, when one line subscription would have been perfectly ample to suiting our needs, had we been allowed (officially) to use tablet devices as GSM phones as well, and switch freely between the two.
Jus got a 10.1v. For sure phone calls are not supported. But for sure the hardware supports it. Its just "CLOSED" for this tablet via software.
I am sure some cool developer can sort that out pretty soon for us though.
Really would want this to happen.

Apologies for leaving out the most Important part.
Viber is an application for iPhone® and Android™ phones that lets you make free phone calls and send text messages to anyone who also has the application installed.
Its basically a Voip Solution but the Audio quality as been excellent for me so far, I ve got it installed on my 3G tab and its been really great.

Yes My tab being 3G I could receive and send messages just unable to make voice calls and I ve also heard you can use it on wifi as well just need to supply a mobile number when registring to activate the service but you are not able to use the same mobile number to activate the service on 2 devices at the same time.
Hope that helps.
Viber can be used on 3g tablet and wifi tableth both , if you have 3g tablet there would be no problem if you want to activate the application via your tab simcard
but if you have wifi version just give your handphone number while you are asked to do so after you received the code on your phone just enter it on your tablet and then can use it on wifi version

I've got the 80 G9 and Archos 3G stick, when installed into my PC there is an sms app, is there any way of installing some phone voice and/ or sms functionality into the tablet?
I believe the Xoom has a partially working Google Voice hack.
I know this is a question but there's no Q&A thread, sorry.
for the sms
i use handcent sms
you can use skype... pretty cheap and you can keep your sms and call expenses separated from your internet ones...
I've got unlimited free SMS on the sim card though!
I've recieved network messages "Balance remaining £8.53" etc and WhatsApp managed to authenticate the phone number but Handscent can't send or recieve SMS.
Any more ideas?
UPDATE: SMS now working with 3rd party SMS apps (it was a sim card problem)
When they expand Google Voice to the rest of the world I'll have Voice capability too, Hopefully the Archos ICS update in 1st Q 2012 will leave phone functionality in the build.

Hi,
I'm interesed in this tablet, but I would like to know if is possible to use the 3g version as phone (sms, mms...).
Maybe some app could do this?
Thank you
Depends on what you mean "as a phone". (This info refers to all tablets on the market by the way. NOT just the tablet S)
If you want the tablet to have it's own cell phone # provided by your carrier, then no. No tablets on the market will be given a phone number by a carrier. When they get their SIM card, that SIM just links it to your account and only gives it data privileges. With those privileges, you just get the amount of data you're paying for a month and you can't be assigned a voice/text plan with any minutes/messages.
You can however use applications to get a "temporary phone number" assigned to it. You give that number to your friends and you can text to/from them through that application. Check this thread for info on what applications do that:
http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1476315
As I mentioned in that thread, I use textab in conjunction with my android phone. My tablet and phone are bluetooth linked and I just get all my texts on the tab with my normal phone #. If you don't already have an android phone, that's probably not for you.
Finally, as for making calls on it, I'm not too sure about that. As I mentioned initially, the tablet will not get a phone # from your carrier so being able to completely use it as a phone is not an option. However there may be apps similar to the texting ones that can enable you to make calls over 3G or WIFI, but I really don't know anything about that.
Hope this helps.
Thank you for your prompt answer.
What I mean is simpler. In my android phone I have a sim card with data plan. If I put this sim card into the tablet s, can I call, send sms and use internet?
Thank you again for your patience.
Hmm, interesting. I've never thought of that before.
My *Guess* is that it wouldn't work. I think you need to call your service provider to get the definite answer on that.
Although if you did get a tablet, you could have the same set up I'm using. I have an android phone and the tablet S. I have the Tablet using my phones 4G data through tethering. Also they're connected through bluetooth so I can send and receive all my texts from the tablet as well (with textab installed on phone and tablet). I leave my phone in my jacket and I only need to take it out if I'm making or receiving a phone call (Textab also instantly notifies you if the phone is ringing too)
Having an android phone and tablet is a great combo and I'd reccommmend it to anyone. I think having a tablet completely work as a phone would be good too as long as you have a bluetooth headset for it....but I can't imagine having to pull out a tab if you're on the go and having to do a lot of texting. Having the pair certainly leaves you in the most flexible position
----Oh yeah, I thought I'd add this on, and this is certainly just MY opinion so ignore it if it's terrible lol
But if you do get a tablet, I'd never reccommend getting a 3G one. You have to pay extra for it's own data plan, you could potentially get a long term contract for it, it costs more than the wifi only model, and I can't imagine too many times most people will find themselves with a tablet and no phone. It's usually the reverse there lol. The only good thing about a 3G tab is just that it can have internet when you don't have your phone and are in an area with no wifi. How often is that? lol
I am using my tablet to sent and receive sms. Works good
The Tablet P is pretty similar and I've put a mobile phone sim and can send and receive SMS but I have yet to find a way to use it as a phone (other than Skype or something similar)
Ian
yes and no
You can make internet calls that could work as a phone replacement as long as you have a good connection.
Not really a substitute as you would not want to carry your tablet around all the time, but it could work as a home based phone.

Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers
Today I was trying to download a MMS but wasn't able to. I modify APN but still nothing.
Then I had the brilliant idea to change the setting to "Prefer 3G" and it worked. Downloaded the MMS without a problem.

Oh, and I'm afraid I don't know if I can receive MMS sorry....
Edit: OK, I can send and receive via the Xiaomi built-in Messaging app (with 4G). Google Messenger will not send MMS, but don't know about receiving.

Sorry peteski, I haven't had any luck with this. Even though I don't like it much, the built-in app does the job so that's what I've been using. If I ever get it working I'll make another post.

Crap. Thanks for your quick response mate. Guess I better start getting used to the built in app.... Cheets
I'm not trying to take the piss but what do you guys use mms for? I've never sent an mms in my life. Whatsapp, bbm, Hangouts etc do a much better job.

Since receiving my Redmi Note 3, I've been very happy with the phone and software, however I have not been able to receive multimedia messages, is this due to alternate APN settings?, I'm on Australia Woolworths network 4G telstra.
However these settings are default normal telstra, would this be the reason or is it something else? Cheers

Answer (just go settings>sim cards and setting>(whatever your operator is>apn> then look down there. (reset to default)

Hi Megafluffles, I've got the same phone, same carrier, but even with the Mi Message option on I can't send MMS. Did you ever find out how to get the stock messaging app up and running?
Ta, Nic
Sorry for the necroposting, I hope this info helps someone. For some reason it's very hard to come by.
On my Redmi Pro it looks like this: Settings -> SIM and mobile networks, but not APN settings! Instead, somewhere at the very bottom there is an option to "Always receive MMS (even if mobile internet is turned off)". Switch it on, and voila! The MMS service is working. When you turn it off, even if the APN settings are correct and your 3G-4G network is working perfectly, your MMS "can't be sent at the moment". Good luck trying it out!
I'm using the latest stable MIUI global and the default messaging app, nothing fancy.
