Hey
Is there an app that allows me to connect my tablet to my phone and make phone calls from my tablet? I have googled and found VOIP that says I can make phone calls and send sms from my tablet over wifi that goes from my phone but I cant find that app..
Any suggestions?
Thanks!
EDIT: Both my phone and tablet uses ICS if that helps.

Just a quick question..
Is there any way to tether all of an android phone's capabilities to a tablet?
For reference, i'm not talking about wifi, i'm talking about turning a tablet into a phone using a phone. if that makes sense.
what I'd like to do is make/recieve calls/texts on my tablet using my phone. Not using some macguyver method of using google voice or any other service, but legitimately connecting the phone to the tablet to use it's phone number and everything.
any thoughts?
There are plenty of apps to sync your sms between phone and tablet.
I use Tablet Talk, I can send/received what ever sms is on my phone
once paired either by BT or WiFi.
As for phone call, I have not seen anything to let you make/received calls
using your phone's number.
Anything would need to be 3G WiFi base since your tablet don't have phone hardware (at least not on mine)
Phone calls with tablet
The only way i know to do that is buying a gmate, unfortunately. But i'm searching hard in the internet to discover something to do that with software only. I have a EVO 3D with sprint network(CDMA) in Portugal(GSM), so i cant do phone calls or anything, and i want to make a connection with my cell phone to the EVO 3D to MAKE CALLS, not sending SMS's.
If anybody knows anything it will be very usefull for many people that are searching also for something like that.
Making calls
Hey people.
I think this might be possible by using either a GSM Modem (the one included in the tablet might be capable) and a specialized software.
For example. Here in Colombia we have TIGO, they sell you a USB GSM Modem, bundled with their own application. If you start the application (MAC or Windows) then you can connect to the internet and make phone calls using your TIGO mobile telephone line.
I know it is possible, but still has not been developed, perhaps some patents involved?.
Hey guys,
I have a Viewsonic G Tablet (running CyanogenMod 7.1) and a Sony Ericsson Xperia Play R800a (flashed with R800i UK Generic 4.0.2.A.0.42, locked bootloader, Rogers locked and not rooted).
What I am looking to do is use my G Tab as my phone when at home, like install it at my desk and answer calls and SMS from it directly. Somewhat like a bridge between my Xperia Play and my G Tab. Then, when not needed, just "disconnect" them and go my way with just the phone.
Answering SMS would be way faster with the USB keyboard I have and it would make a crazy looking home phone.
I tried searching on Google and in the forums but couldn't find anything... perhaps I missed something?
If you guys know something that can do what I'm looking...
Thanks!
There aren't any telephony components in the gTablet. That said, you can still do voip. The Google Voice app will let you do sms. And GrooveIP works with a Google Voice number. If you use GV, then you can use your tablet as a second device. You might be able to forward your cell phone to a GV number to transfer calls (don't think you can forward sms).
Skype also works on the gTablet.
Just listened to Android central's podcast and somebody mentioned getting the paid app gvoice. From what I understand it allows you to make calls via internet (wifi or cellular data) and receive them using your google voice number. dunno about being able to disconnect like the way you want but worth checking out

I installed Skype, then bought a phone number ($15 / year) and bought an international calling plan ($15 / year - optional) so I could be reached on vacation. I forwarded my phone to my Skype number, and voila! any calls coming to my home number go to my tablet.
Hey all, thanks for your ideas
I can't use GVoice since I'm in Canada, and I'm looking for something a lot easier
I basically want my tablet to act roughly like a Bluetooth headset (communication still handled by my phone on the GSM network) but with a dialer that would allow me to key in the number I want to dial.
Worse case scenario, I can live without the SMS but I would really like the phone to work as I want
Someone mentioned the G Tab does not have telephony capabilities. Can that be installed at all since what I'm looking for is hooking it up to my actual phone by Bluetooth and therefore don't require an actual SIM in my tablet?
there is an app called tablet talk, you can google it, which allows you to pair your tablet n phone via bluetooth to send n receive sms.
Hello, hoping there is something like this out there. My setup is, I have my tablet in my car for media/GPS. My phone is tethered over WiFi to tablet to share internet. I would like to have it that when I receive a call on my phone a notification on my tablet comes up with an answer or decline button and maybe who is calling. It needs to be handled over the WiFi connection as the phones Bluetooth is already being used for hands free..
Has anyone seen something like this?
Thanks
[EDIT] Have found an app that does everything I want and more, 'Tablet Talk'. Covers call control and sms cotrol plus uses contact list, and does this all over wifi.
I need to tether my phone to my tablet. i would like to make, and receive phone calls and texts using my phone through the Z3 Compact Tablet. Since the Z3 is waterproof, it makes it better to lug around during the rain and my pohone is in my bag snug and dry. Is it possible? What app should I use?
Thank you so much.
I am confused. First of all, the SGP621 is a phone and can make and receive cellular phone calls and texts the same way any smartphone makes and receives cellular phone calls and texts. If you purchased the 611, you might be interested in the 621 instead (and then you can get rid of your other phone if you are comfortable using the Z3TC instead).
Second, this is technicality, but you say you want to tether a phone to your Z3TC, but it sounds like you want to tether your Z3TC to a phone.
Third, your Z3TC should be able to use the phone's internet connection, and you could make calls using VOIP. Vonage is a popular app but Play store reviews will be your friend. Call quality likely will not be as good as cellular. Youmight be able to receive texts via Whatsapp, or somethin.
"Xperia link" or "tablet talk" but that's from phone to tablet. Not sure if the other way will work

I had the same problem as you. what you can do is 1- use a google voice to make and receive calls and to do this you must have internet on the tablet as you can tether it to the phone or get a data plan for your table assuming you have the SGP621 LTE version. 2- get a whatsapp working on your tablet and make call with whatsapp for free now. with option 1 ( google voice ) you can set your regular phone number to the google voice number with call forwarding that's how I do it and when I call my regular number the phone does not ring but my tablet
Never saw people using this kind of setting......probably you just need to buy a bluetooth headset or Smartband Talk should meet your needs....

Hi,
Recently I upgraded my Omate Truesmart watch to android 4.4.2/kernel 3.4.67 (iron Man Rom) and until now satisfied.
However one thing that is not clear for me is how to Make Phone calls with it.
After inserting my SIm Card I tried to make a Phone call by pressing the Phone Icon on the watch, but it says App not installed.
I'm able to receive Phone calls with my watch (working fine) but make a call is the problem.
Can someone help me with this, can I manually install the Phone app again, I don't have an APK however or is it something I'm doing wrong here ?
