No. The Shift won't make ANY sort of phone call. At least , not for now.
Maybe, in a very distant future, maybe tomorrow.... bit for now, no way to call with it.
Unless.... you don't mind using VOIP over HSDPA , you can then actually call half the world for free with your Voip Client on VIsta..

Cannot receive calls

I have had my Rogers HTC dream for a while and it works great, I am unlocked using it on ATT network here in the US. I have no problems except recently I have noticed because some of my friends tell me that they cannot reach me.
My phone is on all the time and I can get calls most of the time however sometimes I do not receive the call, and the thing about this is that the phone doesnt tell me I even missed it.
Basically I have no idea anyone has called me except when my friend would let me know that they called me and I did not answer. they say that the phone rings for a long time and it does not go to voicemail, but I think that is a different issue as I have not set up my voicemail yet...
but the main problem is that I would get a call and I have no idea I even got that call. As the phone doesn't even notify me that I had someone calling me in the first place.
I have tried a few custom roms and changed to different ones in hopes that might resolve the problem. but it has not.
help thanks

AT&T 3G ?
I noticed your thread, and wondered if there were any other issues with using a EU version phone on US carriers ? I'm thinking of buying a EU phone (rogers, i believe) off ebay so I can enjoy the speedierness of 3g.
Is dropped incoming calls the only problem you've expereienced ?
How/where did you buy yours, and have you had any trouble with buying from overseas if you did ?
Thanks !
(sorry, i didn't really help at all)

only problem i experience is the missing calls... I got mine from someone on ebay who was in canada, I believe it is a rogers canada phone... could it be the rom??, I am currently running the HTC ADP 1.6 DRC83 ROM.

htc hd2 calling

hi all,
I have a hd2 and a big problem!! My phone wont make a call to anyone anymore i had the phone for like 1 year now and it used to be OK , but now i cant make a call or receive a call but i can text to people and receive text any suggestions ??

Have you changed radio or Rom lately?
Have you checked to see if you might need another SIM card?
Last but not least, have you payed your bill? The last one is more of a joke then a real question.

Hey
I have the latest radio rom and i checked my sim on my other phone and it works.
But anyway i fixed it . All I had to do is use the leoimg file and master reset the phone and it works. So what ever was bugging my phone is gone. Thx anyways

If you have a smart phone that can tether data to your nexus, it won't matter if it's 3g or not you can use apps like tablet talk to send sms as well as make calls on your nexus wifi version. Look here

UK Nexus 7 questions - regarding call and text

Firstly apologies but can anyone help me out before buying.
I was looking into a n7 3g because of the portable factor, however, would I be able to use my giffgaff microsim and use that to receive and send text?. I understand gosms would be possible however, I like to be sure before buying.
Also, is making or receiving phone calls impossible without an android phone to pair up with?, I hear about tablet sms doing this.
