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.
Check out the site www.viber.com

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
Installed viber. Messaging works fine but calls didn't work for me and viber has crashed several times. Do you have any idea?

just put it anywhere and then use any "file browser" to find it and select it, it will automatically ask you if you want to install.

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

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.

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.

the best thing you can do is get a google voice number and get an app called groove ip.
you can sms through the google voice app and make calls using the groove ip ap
it will work great.
i have it set up on my archos 5it and 70

yes well, it's a matter of choice, I tether my 3G connection from my phone to the tablet... same as I did with my old A70...
tethering via wifi burns the battery & I thought BT tether didnt work.
If you've managed to tether via BT pray tell how.
The third party sms apps I've tried are Handcent chompsms and gosms. All OK.
sorry i know its a bit off topic does anyone know where i can get a 3g stick in USA and what GSM bands it supports? thanks much!

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.

Try using Line, PC and tablet browser version just released with chat features supported on PC and tablet without rooting (voice calling not yet available).
There is a preinstalled SMS/MMS app that allows you to send and receive SMS. But there's absolutely no way of using it as a phone (except, you know, Skype).

It has a green balloon smiley icon, the name is "SMS/MMS". When you send messages to the phone number associated with a SIM card, you'll see notifications leading to that app (that's how I discovered it).

everytime someone sends me a text pic I click download and nothing happens. It used to work perfectly but now its not. Do I have enable something in the options because im really confused.
You should be able to long press the image and select "save attachments" after that put a check in the box of the attachment(s) you want to save them click save or download. This is about as far as my advice goes. But it works for me every time.
Stock everything.
I had this problem on another phone recently and it was due to the apn settings. Do a search for your carriers apn settings and make sure they're there. Sometimes there's a specific mms apn setting you need to add

I have this strange problem with my SHV-E210L, when I lose the carrier signal (i go in my garage for example), and when my phone finds the signal again, i can't get back automatically the data network (3G or G). then i must use the airplane mode or switch off the phone to recover the data network. Does anybody have this problem?
