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 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...
I was wondering if anyone has tried phone calls and sms on their tab? I have taken my extra phone lines sim, cut it and used it in the tab. Data runs fine, just wondering if like other gsm tabs, if we can get phone and sms running. Any thoughts ?
I dont think you can do call, I read in one of the threads that honeycomb doesn't have a dialer yet
I use groove ip and i sideloaded the google voice app onto my tab. texts and calls for free =D
Questions or Problems Should Not Be Posted in the Development Forum
Please Post in the Correct Forums and Read THIS
Moving to Q&A
i know you can side load google voice but since my numbe is on my sim and ha unlimited sms just wondeing if i could use it. I mean after a month maybe i get a big bill or a notice because they def. Know what device im using just a matter if they do anything. I have read a fw threads on howard forums of people getting away with this and with a mifi as far a lte sim swaps. Dont really need to make calls and sms but it woukd be nice. This spare line was usualky used fordata tetheingand data use primarily anyway just much less hassle to have built in then to fire up wifi tether
To send SMS (text) just open the message app. It's included. At least here on the 10.1 3G bought in sweden. No phone calls though, just sms
Though there is supposed to be per the manual, there is no Message app on my Verizon 10.1 LTE tab. Strange.
Edit: I just read that Messaging will be included with the new update... whenever they decide to release it. The wait continues...
So I hope there isn't already a ton of threads for this. I look around and found nothing, anyways I have a Samsung Galaxy S Vibrant rooted to ICS passion 13.1 and it uses the 3.1.10_ICS_KissYum_yum_good #1 Kernel. I rooted this phone from Froyo 2.2 down to Eclir then to CM7 and then ICS.
Anyways I think that is enough info but the issue I have is I cannot send or receive pictures via text. I used to be able to and I know the plan for Tmo supports it but even if I try to send one to myself all it does is say 'sending message'. I never get one in my inbox and it never gives the time of when it was delivered, or sent out. When someone else sends one to me, it shows the size of the file with a little button that says Download, next to it. Even if i turn wifi on and connect to my router then hit 'download' it doesn't do anything. I don't have the Data plan but I don't think that would cause the issue would it?
I wanted to know if I am the only one having this issue and if I am not smart enough to see the issue it if it is just a bug in general. I recently figured out how to take screen shots so I can provide those to help my vague description.
I will work on getting those. I would like to have this fixed if I can in case my family sends me pictures.
Thanks.
To send and recieve MMS you have to turn on data transfer.
Mms will not work over wifi. It needs the carrier data accessible
sent from my cell in Arkham
So i looked and i guess there was a thread about an SMS error describing my issue. And the person just replaced his SIM card and it worked. I guess if it is cheap/free i will try that.
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...
I bought this device ~2017 from Sprint for my elderly mother so she could stay connected with the family. One of the features was she could use it to text. She took to that like a fish in water, which made us happy. They did not have WiFi, so it was strictly cellular data. There was no voice, but that was not a problem. It had been working fine until...we got a Tmobile SIM in the mail. (Due to the merger of Sprint with TMobile.). This was supposed to be required due to the 3G retirement.
I installed the SIM. Everything seems to be fine. But then we notice the SMS stopped working. I called Sprint, they did some sort of reset and SMS started working. I went away in victory. But then an hour or so later we noticed SMS no longer worked. Skipping some steps, I took it to the store. We installed a new TMO SIM card. SMS worked again--for 5-15 min, then stopped. They did a warranty replaced of the tablet. Same thing. It first worked (send and receive texts) for <15 min, then failed. They would not allow me to go back to the Sprint SIM card.
I had the manager escalate this through their tech support. After a week or so, the answer came back: SMS is not supported on tablets.
This must be a policy. Certainly it can work. But it seems to be a restriction/problem on the carrier side. However I am not convinced it is really a policy and not just laziness.
What I am seeking from this forum is to learn the following:
A) Does anyone have SMS working on this device (SM-T978U).
B) If SMS works, what carrier do you have.
Alternately, I am looking for a work around that works seamlessly. Anything convoluted will not work for her. She also has an Alcatel GO flip 4. She now has WiFi.
You may want to look at an App like TextFree or Google Voice.
I can report that this was a carrier created problem. The explanation I received was that after the TMO Sprint merger, they pushed out PLMN's that allowed the devices to use the best available resource (TMO or Sprint), I am told. When the Sprint resources could no longer be accessed with the new TMO SIM card, the SMS no longer worked. If others had this problem, it may now silently be fixed. They need to push out an new PLMN and then "cancel" the location to forces the device to take the new PLMN. Works fine now.
My frustration is that the lower levels of tech support are really just customer service to help you use your phone. A rant on the whole experience is not worth anyone's time. For me, a chance encounter with a TMO employee in a local bar was required. Once I got to people with the appropriate level of technical knowledge, the problem was solved quickly.
The answer to the question in the title is 'YES'.
This is not a T-Mobile only issue. None of the US carriers allow LTE/5G tablets to text using SMS or RCS. I am not sure why. I had the LTE Tab S5e on Verizon and at no point could I text directly from the tablet using its number. I had to either use Google Voice or some other third-party app.
I now have the WiFi Tab S7 and the only way I can text is to pair it via Google Messages to my S22 Ultra or to use Google Voice.
The upside to using Google Messages is that I can use the same number on both devices. The only downside is occasionally I have to re-pair Google Messages.
I just bought a used T-Mobile Tab S7. I can sms with stock messaging app.
