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...
Hey guys, first of all, the LeeDroid Honeycomb + Phone is an AMAZING rom! The fact that they were able to allow phone calls & text messages on Honeycomb is nothing short of amazing (Since it was not designed for phones at all). I did however stumble onto something.
I had been using the HTC Flyer 3g with my AT&T account and I got this message:
"AT&T Free Msg: Your data service has been restricted due to SIM Swapping with a Data Connect Device. Please call 1(800)-331-0500 to discuss available plan options."
The internet, SMS and MMS worked perfectly for the first two days I had it, then AT&T cut it off. Has any one dealt with this before? I called customer service and they said because this device isnt a phone, that their system would not allow it to use the internet. Phone calls still work and so do regular text messages, but no MMS and no internet.
Would Flashing to a different radio cause them to recognize this device as something else? Is there a way around it? Am I just an idiot?
Greatly appreciate the work you did LeeDroid! This is by far the most comprehensive and bugless custom rom I've ever loaded!
Different radio isn't going to do anything. They are probably reading the IMEI number, which is not changeable.
I don't think you will be able to use this device on a phone plan.

The companies do this because they have different data calling plans, the thing is that they will be able to identify by the device ID, i think they have cancelled this so that you buy a "Internet Sim" this is nothing to do with the ROM i dont think
I'm about to exchange my Sony Xperia Z for a HTC One which I'm very familiar with on the AT&T side of things. Recently got out of the contract with AT&T so I decided to try out the Xperia Z. Not a bad phone but I ended up missing my HTC One without question.
Now the question I have is when I flash a ROM do I lose the ability to use Wifi calling? Thanks to t-mobile piss poor wall penetrator I absolutely can't afford to lose this feature.
Sent from my C6606 using xda app-developers app
As of now only 4.1.2 has Wi-Fi calling no 4.2.2 or 4.3 room have that feature and 4.1.2 has very limited roms available devs just jumped ship to newer is updates
Sent from inside the T.A.R.D.I.S
Wifi calling info
Here is what I have been able to gather about wifi calling:
It modifies some kernel level (or otherwise low level) stuff so you can't just install it like an apk (an app)
T-mobile is not going to release the source changes (isn't this a violation of GPL?)
The combination of these two factors means you have to copy binaries from T-mobile ROMs to get it to work
Since it is binary kernel level type stuff it can only be copied to ROMs of the same android version
As of the time of writing this T-mobile has not released a 4.2 or 4.3 based ROM
Theoretically there are some 4.1.2 ROMs out there with wifi calling already applied (I don't have any links)
Theoretically there is a flashable package somewhere that can copy the needed binaries over a 4.1.2 ROM (I don't have a link)
This theoretical flashable package requires a sense ROM, wifi calling binaries might require sense
Virtually all of the ROMs listed on these forums DO NOT have wifi calling due to them being 4.2 and 4.3 based ROMs
The only exception I have so far seen are the "stock t-mobile" ROMs
When T-mobile releases a 4.2 or 4.3 based ROM then we should see 4.2 and 4.3 ROM devs copy over wifi calling to their ROMs as long as they have not moved on to 4.4 or later based ROMs by that time
So the bottom line is that right now the only option with wifi calling is the stock t-mobile ROMs. This may change if t-mobile releases a new ROM soon enough, but also may not last. The only long term hope for being able to consistently use it with custom ROMs is if they release the source or Google generically adds wifi calling to android (or changes the phone code such that adding wifi calling can be done in an apk, that way skype and google voice could be hooked in better as well).
Very informative Phreznl, but I would make a correction to your summary. Most ROMs that have been around for awhile and have an old 4.1.2 version include Wi-Fi calling, so you can have Wi-Fi calling on non-stock T-Mo ROMs. However you have to find the old file and sometimes that can be very difficult. I know TrickDroid has it (that's what I run), and I think ARHD also has it.
Don't mean to sound rude or anything, just informative to others looking for variation.

Not. The. Same.
Any one interested in the 1.58 build? Its been run forever by myself and testers and is 100% carrieriq free etc...Since some folks dont seem to want to flash appropriate firmware to run 4.4.3...figured I'd offer...IF folks want this build released...speak up... closed mouth dont get fed...
I am definitely interested. Thanks
yes, why not is it posted WNC:good:
No... Never posted it...Just did the 4.4.3 build...

I'd be interested in a 1.58 build from you! As you know, I'd been rocking your 4.4.3 rom but came across another issue... I can't download visual voicemail with WiFi turned on (and connected). I have to turn off my WiFi in order to get new voicemail notifcations. It's probably just a weird incompatibility with the 4.4.3 rom and AT&T. I'm back on stock, rooted 1.58 and all is working as it should.
Plus, maybe AT&T / HTC will release the 4.4.3 ROM for the AT&T variant soon, and then you can release your magic
It tells me it doesn work on wifi and you need signal for it to work...thats not my doing this is from a stock untouched build...Also says here cannot be setup or managed via wifi

I have a signal and everything provisioned correctly with AT&T. Again, visual voicemails download/notify just fine (when I'm connected to WiFI but over mobile network) on AT&T 1.58. On 4.4.3 (Dev Edition), voicemails would not download until I turned wifi off (even though MMS downloaded via mobile network with WiFi on). I also knew it wasn't your doing and just something going on with Dev Ed. and AT&T not quite working well together (or at least it seems).
Not sure on this one, ill have to look into it...but ive never gotten alerts when on wifi on any of the builds including stock as shown....There is no data charge for using vvm on regular signal though...so your not saving or loosing anything by trying to download them on wifi...just sayin..lol
Well I'm not trying to download on WiFi. I'm just saying I get no notification of a voicemail when connected to WiFi on 4.4.3 but I do get a notification on 1.58 (stock, rooted). I'm saying on 4.4.3, I literally have to turn off WiFi for my phone to alert me of a voicemail. I don't have to do this on 1.58. Again, not blaming you, just the way I think dev ed roms work on at&t. Thanks for all the awesome work btw
Ill check into notifications as to why its not showing when on wifi in next update,thanks

And I do not get VVM notifications regardless of carrier connectivity when Wi-Fi is on. I can have full bars, but cannot get or listen to VVM if Wi-Fi is on. Turn it off, works, turn it on and no VVM. Friends m8 behaves the same and he is Intl FW, SuperCID... so its AT&T BS.
