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 hope 10.1 is the same!
i have the IO 10.2 - yes you can make phone calls using Skype or Tango

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.

Just like I predicted... Great...
Here's the deal...
Use SVoice on my Note4 and say "text this person" "my message" and then "send" all is good.
Use SVoice on my GearS and do the same using the same name and Gear S says that person is not in my contact list.
Check my contact list on the GearS and low and behold, they are there.
Any ideas? I've done a full reset on my GearS & it was working fine when I had my Note2 connected.

I am having this same problem connected to my S5, only for me not all contacts are showing in my Gear.
I attempted to contact Samsung customer support for this issue. They told me that only the phone contacts will show on the gear and synced contacts will not. I tried to explain that all of my contacts are synced via my gmail and not a single one has been entered on my device, but she insisted that only phone contacts will display.

I was able to find a work around. I edited the contacts that were not showing up (I starred the contact) and it then synced with my Gear S. I then unstarred the contact and the star went away on my phone and Gear but the contact remained.
To make it easier I starred the contact in my gmail and hit the sync on my phone, instead of doing it all on my phone.
Can I please ask, if someone calls your note 4 or whatever phone you have connected to your gear s does the call still come though to your watch
I use gear 1 with tab 10.5 s 4G and use this as my phone so u can understand why I use gear 1 to take calls, with gear s I would still like people to call my tab and answer on watch, is this still going to be possible
cheers

Yes if some one calls my phone the call can be answered on my Gear. If connected via bluetooth they will ring at the same time. If running in standalone I have call forwarding setup so the call will be forwarded to my Gear. One complaint I have at the moment and have not looked into a work around for is if connected via bluetooth and I ignore a call (either on the Gear or phone) the call will then still be forwarded to my Gear.
Do you have the Tab S 10.5, the Gear S does not connect to mine!!! So I have 2 standalone devices, I only bought into this whole smart watch nonsense because I use a tablet as my phone, so now I have ended up with 2 separate numbers????
I have a Gear S (Verizon) connected with my S5 (Verizon) and I am having some trouble in standalone mode. I have read a few threads and it seems that I should be able to receive SMS messages to my S5 on my Gear when in standalone (there is no problem when I am using BT). All of my calls are forwarding without problem. It also seems that I should be able to set my Gear to call using my S5 Phone number in standalone mode which I have been unable to do. Finally, I cannot stream through Milk while in standalone mode (once again I can connect through BT and control Milk on my S5). When standalone I get a cannot login error. I have replied in another thread about this, but I am hoping to get all my answers in one spot (I have not received an answer in that thread that has worked for me).

I was able to get the SMS problem resolved. It seems that if the WIFI connected on my S5 it will not connect to my Gear S remotely. Kinda crappy :crying:
It might be the WIFI at work is blocking something that is prevent the SMS from working. Going to retest when I get home.
I still have not figured out the Milk streaming or how to use my S5 number when making a call through the Gear. It does use my S5 number when sending SMS messages remotely.
I'd be keen to have the Gear S as my main "phone" - for phone calls and texts.
I'd have to tell all my contacts " this is my new number " or perhaps my telcos (Telstra Australia) could port my existing number to the Gear S.
I'd still (obvs) need to have a host Samsung phone on a plan, always charged / plugged in to the network - but I would still be able to utilise the functionality of the paired Gear S / Samsung phone ecosystem (including the few Gear S Apps which are useful) without say the call forwarding headaches or having two numbers?
would that work?

Huh??
Just put your phone sim in your GS. Use the same number.
Just have your phone at home with no sim connected to your WiFi.
There are some issues that you might be willing to live with or you could always fall back to the normal setup with two Sims.
The call forwarding and two numbers is not a headache in the least. Works brilliantly.

i have that on a high data plan which was originally used for my ahem iPhone + tethering that to my laptop. I can now downgrade that plan as my contract time is up - which is part of the reason why i ask my question now
- if my operator has a suitable shared data plan i could presumably change to that and swap sims

It did seem to work for me like that at first, but if it always worked brilliantly I wouldn't be asking the question
I've tried giving my Gear S number to work colleagues, told them to use that number especially when I'm travelling in and out of cellphone range (er check the flag and the location)
what happens is i return to a load of missed calls & messages on the Galaxy S4 host phone some of which were important
(+/- notifications on the Gear S - I still can't figure out if they reappear when i get cell coverage again or when I reconnect to the S4 host phone via BT)
I was kinda asking / trying to articulate: if the Gear S had my "one & only" official personal phone number, would that work as a simplified personal use case scenario in line with my Gear S as my one phone zeitgeist with no obvious drawbacks
I might still have occasional use for the host device - but its only essential function would be a Gear S enabler (ok something of an expensive function)
bookmark to Android central Gear S discussion
Go into the phone settings >Call>Additional Settings >Call Forwarding >Forward when unanswered & Forward when unreachable, then enter your Gear S number. You can also use Forward when busy, if you want to bypass voice mail.

Following this advice I've set my Galaxy S4 to Always forward to my Gear S number and will see how that works.
I also done gone ahead with a shared data plan.
Some of the call forwarding options previously greyed out or otherwise denied now seem available - whether through following the advice in the link above or through the telcos allowing more options on that plan versus the Gear S being on a prepaid/ PAYGO i dunno
I also ordered an S6
Apologies for grouchy reply above but I don't think I've been alone in having erratic call-forwarding issues
i'm still puzzled how your suggestion to have a sim-free Gear Manager compatible phone plugged in at home & connected to wifi would work - the host phone would still need a GSM connection for the few useful apps to work - and indeed a number for my telcos to redirect from?
