Please check with your cell service provider if they offer software to support such feature. There is no software that does that that comes with the computer that I know of. You can do Skype calls from anywhere where the cell data provider has the coverage, but for cell to cell type of calls you need to check with your wireless service provider.

Hello Violet G. I bought this phone one year ago and now this is what I have to say about it. Answering to your question, yes Violet, you can use this phone as an mp3 player even though its quality volume is poor. This cell phone is a good device if we are talking about running programs and response. It never gets stocked running a program. However, speaking of hardware, it presents some issues. Since I got it, this galaxy nexus showed a lot of trouble by getting a good signal. I tried with other service companies but with each of them the cell phone presented the same problem. After three months, another issue came to the surface. The cell phone started turning on the screen while it was locked. Pressing the locker bottom made that the cell phone locked for a while, getting its screen turned off but after 2 or 3 seconds and in some cases 20 seconds the screen turned on again by itself, remaining in that state for several minutes (around 10 minutes in some cases), making the battery dead pretty soon. Two months after that, my galaxy nexus received a message and the ringtone stocked and with it the whole cell phone. It turned off and it never turned on again. I took it to a samsung store and they said to me that the logical memory was dead. Now I have to pay half of the price that this cell phone cost, in order to get it fixed, putting aside the fact that the guarantee did not cover this problem. If you read about this cell phone on the internet, you will find a lot of forums and webpages where they show that this problem seems to be very common, more that you can imagine. So, if I can give some advice to you Violet, I will say, dont buy this phone, buy something else, something like a Sony Xperia Z, Nokia Lumia or an HTC. Sony is better for music as well as HTC which some of them have beats audio and the music playback is better by far. I hope I've helped you with this review. Good luck!

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.

You can put numbers into memory of the unit which is a slow process. There is also a location for a frequently called number which is easy. Otherwise, dial on your cell and then use it to speak

Im in the process of seiling mine right now, I went to puretalkusa, no contract. you can youtube about the ph. that's how I do my search. get the info from people. It is a smartphone.. Let me tell you another reason why Im not keeping mine. I never could get it o go o the internet or send and receive picturing messages. I was told it would, but even my provider couldn't not get it to... So I tried it with puretalkusa they told me, this phone wont do it, they even tried.

No, you may not use this as a phone, but you can install an application that will allow you to talk over wifi. (But you probably will need to buy minutes)

Yes you can make a call but unfortunately it's the last call placed unless you use your phone to go to that specific call. When you disconnect the charging line from the device it talks to you and tells you if the charge is high, medium or low. Thanks!

Yes. The phone is just acting as a convenient handset. The call is still going through your cellular carrier.
