Does this tablet work as a phone too (has a sim card slot)? Will it work in Costa Rica?

Yes there is a simcard slot, micro simcard size, but you can't make a call and send message so far as I tried. It will work in other country coz it is unlocked.

Yes it has a SIM card slot, if mine works fine in CR, It should work for you too.

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 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.

Sorry, I have never installed a telephone sim card. If a US mobile will work in Costa Rico then this should also. Might require an app to do so, but it will certainly do data exchange. Nice unit.Cheers,Bob M

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.

I took it to Rio de Janeiro Brazil,and it worked for me. A friend took hers to Jamaica and it also worked for her. I guess you have to check with your country or with Samsung.

for the phone to work you need to get a sim card from a service provider. the tablet has a slot for the sim card and another one for a micro sd memory card.
