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.

The tablet receives two types of data. It has a sim card (3g/4g) and it has wifi. Both types have on off switches. When wifi is turned on it will seek and connect to open wifi signals even while 4g is already on.

Let's try this again. I don't know the answer either, but I suggest you go to your 3G carrier and ask them if they can support the Tablet P. There IS a sim socket in the tablet: its under the top cover--I looked in my tablet P. I talked to ATT about whether they still supported the Tablet P, and they said they did. They would install a sim card, activate the tablet and take my money. I asked about overseas operation and they said no, but he then said it would invoke roaming charges.I think the tablet P is used in Japan as a 3G device. As I said: check with your carrier.

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 am sure if you get a SIM card from ATT or T-Mobile you can use it as a phone. Remember, it is 3G and not 4G.

The tablet has a compartment to simcard, but I gave the tablet to my children and they only use it in the house wirt the wi-fi and I haven't prove it with 4G. Sorry.

To make phone calls yes on most common (gsm) networks I had no problem with calling. But when it comes to network data (Internet browsing ect...) you need specific matching network to officially use the 3g or 4g.If not the phones useless for on the go apps, web, social media, unless you plan to use wifi only when you're at home or in a wifi zone .

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.

No cellular service works with this tablet directly but you can connect USB aircard or air dongle to it for use.The Unlocked GSM units or units working with cellular services are called 3G tablets.

If your question is "can I make a telephone call using my samsung n8000 3g tablet using a sim card? I believe the answer is yes as I have done this in the USAUsing my cell phone sim card. The only thing is you should have earphones connected. Good luck, Ron

n regard to my experience you can only receive data from internet, the tablet does not allow calls unless you install a special program for this purpose, I try but do not succeed, plus as you will see in the comments to my Battery abslutamente criterion is deficient only lasts two hours use on standby lasts a little more

In general tablets cant make voice calls directly via a cell carrier, but it can get data.. those indicate what data network it can be on... You can make voice calls using 3rd party voIP products.

No, it can't because you would have to have a Sim card to place in the Android Tablet. It has to be a carrier such as T-Mobile, or Simple Mobile with a Sim card you can place in your phone to obtain service for calls. Hope this helps you out.

This unit is not 3g. You can only put in a micro card for additional storage. Works ok for a basic tablet.

No. You cannot make phone calls with it. It is a Tablet. Similar to an iPad in size and function capabilities.
