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!

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 was wondering if anyone has tried phone calls and sms on their tab? I have taken my extra phone lines sim, cut it and used it in the tab. Data runs fine, just wondering if like other gsm tabs, if we can get phone and sms running. Any thoughts ?
I dont think you can do call, I read in one of the threads that honeycomb doesn't have a dialer yet
I use groove ip and i sideloaded the google voice app onto my tab. texts and calls for free =D
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
i know you can side load google voice but since my numbe is on my sim and ha unlimited sms just wondeing if i could use it. I mean after a month maybe i get a big bill or a notice because they def. Know what device im using just a matter if they do anything. I have read a fw threads on howard forums of people getting away with this and with a mifi as far a lte sim swaps. Dont really need to make calls and sms but it woukd be nice. This spare line was usualky used fordata tetheingand data use primarily anyway just much less hassle to have built in then to fire up wifi tether
To send SMS (text) just open the message app. It's included. At least here on the 10.1 3G bought in sweden. No phone calls though, just sms
Though there is supposed to be per the manual, there is no Message app on my Verizon 10.1 LTE tab. Strange.
Edit: I just read that Messaging will be included with the new update... whenever they decide to release it. The wait continues...
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).

erm, maybe you can try viber? It has this feature though(although I've never used it)
Google Voice is free for calls in the US and possibly Canada IIRC. If you set up your Google voice number to not forward calls, and use the GrooveIP app. The Lite version will work fine for wifi only, but if you want to use 3G or find the app useful and want to support the dev while getting extra features, get the paid version.
Can you call numbers too or do you have to have the contacts themselves like skype?
Google voice is NOT a VOIP service, just a call forwarding service. You might want to give this thread a look.
:Edit: I didn't read spunker88's reply thoroughly enough. The thread I mentioned has a lot of information about setting up VOIP as he recommends.

Yes, you can call any US number, landlines or cell phones using GrooveIP which uses your Google Voice account. The app itself is done pretty well, it acts as a dialer and allows you to dial your phone's contacts through it.
Just be aware that this with this setup you'll have a separate phone number and you'll have to leave GrooveIP running while connected to wifi in order to receive calls.
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.

Maybe a bug. But you don't have to keep the 3G. You just have to change to 3G to download the MMS and change back to 4G after that.
I'm with Aldi Mobile, and I can't send MMS, despite configuring the settings they provide on their website. Are you guys able to send MMS at all? I've tried both 4G and 3G, but no luck. I'm running the latest stable global ROM.
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.

You have to get the message center address/number from ur provider it will b 11 digits with a plus sing. Then plug it in under settings in msg app.

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.
