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 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.

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?
Cheers,

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 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
Sent from my D5503 using Tapatalk
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....

My Tab S6 LTE (T867) does not have Samsung phone app. But has messages app and it receives SMS. I tried to load the latest Samsung phone app from apkmirror but it failed.
On its box there is a writing "LTE Data Only".
How can I receive and make voice calls with my tablet?

Not for me. I have this feature since Android 10 update. That's why I have started this thread about 3 months ago.
What region are you located in?
SM-T865 can be used as a normal smart phone. Doesn't need any extra features.
The feature sms/calls on other devices requires Samsung account and a Samsung phone. It will work on devices without a SIM card or with a SIM just for data when it's connected through Samsung account with a Samsung mobile phone. It's quite that simple

Do you know if it has voLTE?
I can make normal voice calls from sim inserted in my Samsung tab s6. It's a Volte tablet
Hi I am evaluating the purchase of a Galaxy Tab 7S but I absolutely need to be able to make / receive phone calls and messages. I read that it is only possible with root permissions but I didn't understand how. Once you have rooted what should I do? Do I have to install any specific app? Thanks a lot
By calls, do you mean voice calling or video calling?
For the former you'll need the Tab S7 5G and your carrier will have to allow it. Not all carriers enable tablets to make voice only calls. This applies to texting. Your carrier must allow it from a tablet; meaning your tablet uses its own number and is not paired to your phone's number. Otherwise, you'll have to use an app like Google Voice. I'm not sure rooting will bypass the carrier.
If you just want to do video calls, then the WiFi only version will work. No rooting needed. Of course you would need a WiFi connection for that to work.
Hi thanks for the reply. I am referring to the use of the tablet at 100% instead of the telephone, therefore receiving and sending calls via the Sim Card with the traditional number. What you say I already knew and unfortunately at the moment the Galaxy Tab factory setting only allows you to call with the Sim only if paired with a Samsung smartphone. In reality, the limitation is not imposed by the telephone operator (except in the USA) but by the customization of Android and it is not clear why there is this trend in tablets. However, I have read that through root you can bypass this limitation but I did not understand how.
I think I have reached the end of my research ... Unfortunately it is impossible because the modem is not GSM compatible and therefore not able to access the voice. Clearly this is a commercial speculative choice to push consumers to have 2 devices instead of just one ... The usual sadness!
Evidently, you can if you had the LTE version of the Tab S7 (which I didn't know existed) and are in Australia.

I can see your point about two devices. I'd rather use one number on two devices than two devices with two numbers.
The tab s7 t-875 model has phone functions, so you can stick your sim card in it and use it as your all in one device. It's available in Europe if that helps?
