No the MZ601 cannot be used as a phone except via something like Skype or other VOIP software that uses the data connection to make phone calls. It does receive SMS text messages but again cannot send them via the normal GSM network.

I bought it for my mom, and she uses it as a tablet. I don't know if this can even work as a phone. You may want to check with your carrier.

Yes, this phone does support a sim card for gsm communications, but you are limited to the 16gb onboard storage due to the lack of an sd card slot.

Yes this tablet has a sim card slot and can be worked as a phone. I am sure it works at Costa Rica once you bought a local sim card you should be able to use it there. We bought a sim card in Italy and it worked well there.

It won't come with the SIM card, your expecting GSM networks carrier ( ATT, H2O wireless, T-Mobile ..etc.. ) will sale it to you as phone services, it requires Mini SIM card.

Normal tablet could be locked to a specific carrier, while unlocked can be used with any GSM carrier usually by SIM card.

I don't believe it has any sim slots. But if you have a phone which acts as a wireless hub, then you can use your phone with the wireless of the Tablet.

You can make "calls" similar a cell phone by insert a GSM sim card into it (remember that it's only 2G GSM). You need internet access for web surfing.

The only way you can use as phone is by using Skype or similar apps. Because this is a table, not a phablet, so you CANNOT make direct phone calls as the table is not designed for that. So much so that you cannot instal sms apps that need of phone capability, like LINE or Whatsupp, for ex. There is a micro-sim slot on the left side of the device, where you install you 3G valid card for data, if you want to use 3G.The phone does not have memory card slot, though, so the memory is not expandableI have had this table for over two years, and I've recently made a long review in Amazon, just in case you are thinking about buying it or not.

Yes you can it has a phone option, but it would be like using a speaker phone. If you use a bluetooth ear piece you can use it like a cell phone and it works with all carrier sim cards. This is the international version of the tablet, but gets H+ in most locations.

No this can't be used as a phone. Only you can put a SIM card and is good to be connected over Internet while traveling.
