Hello guys,

Kind regards,

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.

No offense, but did you really read all those links you just posted??
1) Android by itself doesn't have native video calling
2) Only Samsung added native video calling to THEIR version of Android
3) Even if you had native video calling your carrier has to support it and give you access to that service, it isn't just an automagical thing
4) According to what I've read (but I may be wrong), video calls over data network are much better and cheaper than 3g video calls
So, there's no way to make a "native video call apk", because it's a much deeper issue, you would need to modify the phone framework and add A LOT of things (which is no easy task).
Even if you had that, that won't work for squat if your carrier doesn't support video calling, I know for a fact that no carrier in the U.S. (and probably no carrier in America, the continent, not the self-absorved country does).
You can read more from a technical standpoint here (there's a whitepaper and all).

Agree 100%,here native 3g calls are lot cheaper than data charges. Besides how am I supposed to give a video call to someone who own a phone like SE C510 ? non-smartphones don't have apps like skype to video call via data :/
I really hope SE will add native 3g calls in ICS,cos without this front cam is useless for me :/
paying 290$'s for phone with front cam and there is no way to give a 3g call to my gf and family is kinda pointless

I have gone through all the links out of interest. Surely many are not aware of 3G video calling (non data).
Google is purposely not using native 3G video(non-data) calling because it wants to promote Gtalk, third party companies apps, and use of internet plans. Same with Sony etc. Extra revenue is their main aim.
But what's the use ? All other chat-apps offer video calling via data. People will slowly notice this cheating business.
So google should introduce it by themselves in their new and old versions by default, or people will move on to other phones.
I also request the XDA friends to create a customised app/Rom which can be easily modded and inserted in any rooted android phone.
We dont want cheap or costly simply we are askinh about can we make a video call like a audio call through service provider without any help of wifi or internet.
We want call like nokia n73 or samsung grand prime u can make a video call trough dailer and its cost like audio call per socond.
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
Hey guys,
As with the rest of you I too probably spend a bit too much time on my phone haha so when i saw the announcement of the Nexus 9 i had me start to think about the idea of using it to replace my phone and maybe since the tablet is so big ill spend more time doing other things than carrying it around. I use my phone for almost entirely internet related stuff ( social media, Stocks, news, whatsapp) and occasional texting and phone calls..
So right now I am on bell Mobility in Canada and would like to continue using my current phone plan and number so Google voice or text plus are not very useful to me. I am also not worried that there are not microphone or in-call speaker built into the tablet as i use Bluetooth headsets.
Anyways to get to my questions.... Will I be able to text using hangouts just like I do on my phone now? If not is there a solution?
Am I able to install a dialer to make phone calls through my carrier? If not what can i do? is root needed?
Thanks in advance guys!
I would think the LTE version will do all of this for you, and no don't think you need to be rooted.
Here's where I see the problem with your plan of fulfilling your phone needs with a LTE Nexus 9:
Many carriers treat SIM cards for phones differently than SIM cards for tablets. Even though they're physically identical, the IMEI associated to each SIM allows them to define what each SIM is allowed to do, and those that are classified to be used on a tablet are set to only be able to use DATA services but not VOICE services, which means that if you choose to keep your number associated to that SIM in particular, it would be converted as data-only and won't be able to receive phone calls. I'm not certain this is the case for every carrier, so I suggest you find out with your specific carrier by talking to one of their tech representatives.
As for SMS messaging, I'm not 100% sure but I think data-only SIMs allow for receiving texts but don't let you send out texts, HOWEVER, now that Android has merged google voice with hangouts which allows for your phone messages to be sent through google hangous, I can't tell for sure if this would allow you to override that restriction and be able to send through the tablet (you'd need to find out, again, talk to your carrier).
Good luck!
Unless there is something I am missing here, with hangouts, hangouts dialer and a data sim you should be able to do it all. Texts and calls. I set up a mate 2 with just a data sim and hangouts - works like a charm on att/mvno.
T-Mobile USA has a family plan, where you can add a phone line for $20 with 10GB data. If you add a tablet instead then its $20 with 2GB data. i.e. T-mobile is penalizing tablets. This is really very odd as the tablet can do LESS than the phone (i.e. can't talk). Many phones have as many pixels as tablets. So not as if the tablet will somehow consume more than a phone. Anyhow...
If you were to take a phone SIM, Tablet fastboot modify your IMEI to a phone IMEI (e.g. a broke's phone IMEI) , would it then work on the network and be treated as a phone?
Hello all,
I'm on the following:
Nexus 9 32GB LTE manufacturer date 13/01/2015
CM12 Nightly 03-18
SIM Card with full network permissions (data, SMS, MMS, calls)
What I would like to do is be able to dial out and receive calls and SMS.
I've been fiddling and reading for the last few days, to no avail.
Apparently there has been LTE support since 03-13, and I can see that the tablet understands the network I'm on.
I will gladly pay out a 50 via paypal to whoever successfully solves the problem for me.
Also you'll get to feel nice for anyone else who has this issue.
Some notes/background:
- I really love CM12, and would really rather stay on it. I'm willing to go to other ROM's if that has to happen, but only if they are similar enough (5.0.2+, well optimised, etc)
- I've noticed hangouts is supposed to be able to send SMS, but after reading up there appears to be no settings -> SMS.
- Yes, I understand there is google hangouts for voice calls and all that, but I'm a reseller, and need access to internal numbers only available via my mobile network/SIM card.
- The reason for the bounty instead of patiently waiting, is because I need this for work.
- The reason for attempting to have "all-in-one" is because I used to have both a phone and a tablet with everything tethered, and having multiple devices was not very conductive to work.
I don't understand exactly what your problem is. Can you be clearer with your question.
Does LTE data work on your tablet or does it not?

He wants someone to turn his Nexus 9 into a cellphone. I don't think the baseband hardware allows for that, and a $50 bounty is just plain silly.

Very simple solution: don't cheap out. What you are looking for is a Nexus 6 (SIX) -- large sized cellphone. Not a 9 (tablet).
BTW: I'll take that $50 for solving your problem now...
