Tablets that can be used like a phone
Are there any tablets folks have used that work like a phone to make and receive phone calls. Not talking about voip whatsapp or Hang outs or Skype. Basically an LTE device fully functional wit...
Ah. That's kinda tricky because when we set up the tablets, the lines are created with plans that do not have voice capability included. So, even with a pre-installed or downloaded dialing app, trying to call from the tablet will result in an error message.
I had a separate digits line data only as one of the posters mentioned and i ended up converting that to another straight line fo the same pice and gave it to a member of my family.. I still wanted to use my tablet as a phone so here is what I ended up doing.
I purchased an iPad and I purchased unlimited data with it.
On the IPad I downloaded the tmobile digits app.
I purchased a pair of wireless ear buds.
My cell phone with the SIM is home and turned off and i use the ipad to make and receive calls.
I do have some issues with text - I can text anyone --I do not receive all texts paricularly short codes.
