Honeycomb does not currently have a dialer so atm no. You could use VOIP services like skype, etc.

Not true. It is not Honey Comb that is missing the dialler, but the 10.1 that has this feature locked. Galaxy Tab 8.9 is running Honey Comb too and you can make GSM calls on it.

But you can't receive calls
Is it possible to make a porting of galaxy tab 8.9?
Guys.....it does work.
I have been using it for months to make and receive call now - YES, you will have to be wifi connected, since it does not have the phone hardware, but it works .
Download the app: GrooveIP and sign up with your Google-voice number.
Works perfectly and it even interfaces with your Google contacts. AND if you prefer to keep a log of your calls, it creates that too (can be saved and restored with MyBackup-Pro)
Enjoy

As far as I know it uses your GV credentials as the contact number.
Skype works great. I use it all the time.

Do you have a GSM 8.9? Can you confirm this first-hand or provide link to someone else who can? I have a GSM 8.9 order now, and if it can make/receive GSM phone calls in Honeycomb, this will be a very welcome surprise!
I want make calls with my sim number, when this will be possible?

Well, depending on how Szadzik answers my question above, maybe soon, maybe never. That said, I do have an 8.9 Tab on order (just waiting for stock to arrive before it's shipped -_-), so once I have that in my possession, you better believe I'll be reporting here about its GSM phone capabilities or lack thereof.
Here's the thing though, for anyone who says that the hardware is incapable of GSM phone calls, don't listen to them because that's complete and utter BS. At this point, if Honeycomb tablets can't make/receive GSM phone calls, it's a software limitation, not hardware.
Basically, any GSM/UMTS modem is integrally capable of making an receiving regular phone calls.
I'm pretty certain that it is at the behest of mobile providers that tablet manufacturers choose to leave out phone calling abilities. I mean, think about it from the carrier perspective; why would they willingly want to support a single device that "does it all"? That would be bad for business... However, if you make it such that the consumer absolutely MUST have both devices (tablet AND smartphone), then that means two line subscriptions and more money in their pockets.
Personally, if I were designing a new tablet and smartphone, this is what I would do:
The tablet would ideally be the central device, handling both data and voice services. The phone would be more of an accessory to the tablet rather than a standalone device. The two would be constantly connected to each other via bluetooth 4.0 or something (high speed, and low power). Imagine the phone being like a Galaxy S media player, but able to make and receive voice/video calls/texts/etc all over bluetooth via the tablet's connection to the carrier. Of course, if you wanted to, you could seamlessly transition calls to and from the phone accessory and the tablet depending on the situation, and all SMS/MMS/email/etc is always synchronized between the two devices in real time. Wouldn't that be cool?
Of course, all this could be done through software too, so I guess the real ideal scenario would be if someone made an app that did all this by installing onto whatever tablet and phone you wanted.

Do you know your data sim phone number? Try to call it and see what happens.
Szadzik posted several days ago that he had a GT 8.9 and could make GSM phone calls on it. I asked him to confirm, but have not seen a response from him yet. I'm inclined to call him out on BS with that claim.
Having said that, if you have google voice, you should definitely get GroveIP from the market. Use your GV number to make/receive true VoIP calls over any data connection!

I said it has voice calling capabilities, I do not have one. 10.1 has this blocked by Samsung, 8.9 just needs a dialer AFAIK.

This GSMArena article says so too: http://www.gsmarena.com/samsung_gal...eview_amazingly_packs_telephony-news-2709.php
However the article is a bit dated, the final release may not have it. Someone who has a 8.9 tab will need to confirm this.
Anyways, if this is ever added to the 10.1 (probably with the Ice Cream Sandwich update), I hope there will be an option to turn it off. I don't want incoming calls to my tab!
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7acOtSX6Foc&feature=player_embedded#! skip to min 1.31 and you will see phone call but it needs 3rd party dialer
Please stay on topic - asking just about the phone capability please.
I have spent an hour searching the web and no thread indicates whether it is data only or also voice/phone capable.
I know that we can pull a phone application, but the question is if the modem is phone capable or not.
If you answer please link to your source, or share how you know.
I think for many if this is also a phone (and not just a VOIP sub-par option) it could go head to head with a Note2, with a reduced budget.
Thanks.
Even i am looking for this questions answer but not getting proper answer..Its not confirmed yet abt voice calls/sms
Add one more to the list of people who would like to know the answer to that question. I'd like to upgrade my Galaxy S, which is getting a bit long in the tooth, and I wouldn't mind to loose the back camera (I seldom use it anyway, plus I actually have a digital Point-and-shoot). Also, since I don't make that many calls, a small, cheap tablet makes total sense for me...
My guess is that, if the Nexus 7 with 3G is anything like the original Galaxy Tab (probably one of the original Android Tablets) on that department, then voice is a given. But you never know if the modem is crippled in any way...
Also, since we're on this topic, any news if the launch date is global, or only for the US? And if the 3G will be Europe-friendly, for that matter?
Miguel
I have used Line 2 on mine, so I don't see why it wouldn't work.
Interested in knowing too.
Interesting topic..i've plan to upgrade my n7 to n10 or n7 3g..
Sent from my Nexus 7 using xda app-developers app
This is exactly what I would like to know. Is there hardware that needs to the N7 to make it 3g capable or will Google send and an update to current N7 owners?

As far as I know, currently shipping N7s completely lack any kind of 3G-capable hardware. It's simply not installed, period. And, since that hardware it's a tiny chip with even tinier contact points that needs to be soldered at manufacturing time (not to mention the rest of the supporting hardware, including the antenna, and already supposing the PCB actually has the required traces in place, which may or may not be the case), then ANY currently N7s being sold will never be 3G capable by themselves. Unless someone develops some kind of dongle to be added, though I don't even know if that's possible...
So, unless I'm terribly wrong, to get an N7 with 3G, you'll need a new one.
Now, one question that popped into my mind in the meanwhile. There was at least one review that took the N7 apart that found out the PCB for the N7 actually has a mounting area for a back camera, and probably all the PCB traces are in place, too. At the time, the reviewer said it could have been a leftover from the design phase, or something that had to be cut back due to the target cost. With these new SKUs popping up, do you think Google will eventually throw the back camera in at some point?
Miguel
i,ve asked google customer support several days ago on this same question but not yet get an answer. one thing i,m certain is that this all depends on the modem.that is, the modem may be data connection capable only, or may also be capable for making voice calls.

My guess is, unless someone can get their hands on one of them before November 13th, we'll have to wait until at least then to get this question answered.
Also, a bit OT, but does anyone know launch dates for all countries? It would suck so much to have to cross the border just to get my hands on one... Right now, you can only get the 32GB Nexus 7 in Portugal (we completely skipped the 8GB and 16GB versions, they were never even available, though the good news is that we got the 32GB version along with the US), though only through retail (no Play Store for anything other than apps).

here the response from google customer support: The Nexus 7 3G version currently does not have a built-in phone app, so it will not be capable of making any phone calls. It has 3G data connectivity and Wifi as of now and currently may be used with any carrier that supports GSM/UMTS/HSPA+.

Still can't find anything besides a "send feedback" link over at Android.com. I think you were extremely lucky
Anyway, that reply might be a good thing after all: we all know the phone app is disabled for the N7, it has been said before. However, as someone also already mentioned, it's usually possible for people to enable that app, even if you need a custom ROM for it. So, assuming the whole "does not have a built-in phone app" thing only means "we didn't enable voice capabilities because, frankly, it would cannibalize our other offerings, but the underlying hardware is perfectly capable of doing that" (not that you would actually hear anyone from Google saying that, or have them write that down... lol), we'll be golden.
Is any way you can reply to that e-mail and specifically ask which is the baseband/chipset they will be using for the data capabilities? If we had that tidbit of information, we should be able to know if voice could be unlocked or not...
What a way to start my day, with a hopeful news... Nice!

my qusetion was:

" The N7 3G version can be used for Voice over IP calls, such as Skype, or Google Voice, etc but you will not be able to use the tablet as a phone. Hope that helps."

Technically No...
It doesn't answer whether or not the modem(radio) inside the device has been limited (hardware wise) to only a Data connection.
The N7 runs the tablet version of Android, which means the Phone Feature (dialer, etc) has been removed.
The phone dialer you see on some tablets, are custom to that manufacturer, not added by Google.
What we need to know is if the Hardware part of the N7 will allow for a Voice connection to be made. If so, then the Software part can be added back in. Which I'm sure if the hardware needed is there, then the many geniuses here on XDA will quickly make the Dialer appear
And I might be completely mistaken here, but SMS should be possible since its Technically Data, and only requires a Phone Number to route the messages. If SMS is possible, I would be happy with just that, as I do not use voice (if I needed to, I have a cell for that, which I pay an extreme amount for, but only make on average 2 calls a month) - But this would also require the SMS app be added back into the N7 firmware.
---------- Post added at 11:57 AM ---------- Previous post was at 11:46 AM ----------
I think it all come down to Waiting... Waiting for the device to be release, and someone taking it apart to see what its capable of.
Since Google employees people in their service department that are not completely "Tech" savvy, I don't think we can take any answer they give as fact.
I called them the other day, and asked about the Modem/Radio within the Nexus 7 3G.. and The CSR answer was "No you can not plug a Phone Cord or Ethernet cable into the device, and if you want to listen to the radio you must download a 3rd Party App or Try our Google Music service, but it's not a radio" - Couldn't help but laugh uncontrollably for 10min straight.
Hi Guys!
I've just picked up a Nexus 7 32gb 3g and it's amazing to say the least. I can't believe for something just over £200 I have a full up to date android experience with premium hardware. Anyway what I was wondering was could I use this device to replace my recently broken Samsung Galaxy S1 (i9000). By which I mean make calls over 3g cellular. I want to pop in a contract sim and just use the minutes and texts of that and I was wondering whether it was possible?
I've done my research and apparently it's as simple as just copying over the default phone apk and it should work although I'm a bit skeptical as I've only seen one thread about. So what do I need to do to make cellular calls on the Nexus 7?
Regards,
Enya
P.S. I don't mind holding a 7" tablet to my face to make calls, I'd probably just use hands free anyway, and I don't mind rooting or flashing roms.
sorry for the off topic
but where did you get your 32gb 3g from - as ive only seen pc world, currys etc selling the wifi only for 200 pound...
would also like to know about the sim card and making calls / texts with the 3g model
thanks

N7+3g will sell in uk! Check it via proxy 62.233.100.46:80
I am also looking for an answer to this question, i can't find any answers, would you be able to try the phone apk and report back. I am not sure if you need rot access to do that.
Also interested, if only because the carrier that my SIM comes from occasionally requires me to make a call to their automated attendant when their online management tool isn't working.
Metaphorically speaking, Oh and yeah I'm probably going to try the phone.apk although I was wondering if anyone has had any experience or anything?
Oh and to put the phone.apk app back on I think you'll either need root access or ABD, but don't take my word for it, I'm no expert lol,
Uh-oh, just read that the N7 3G support won't be in AOSP for now because they weren't able to licence the GSM stack for AOSP
Wait, so you can't just push it into a system app i=in adb by extracting it from another phone that's running AOSP?

No idea. As of yet the only AOSP phone with 4.2 is the GNex (Nexus 4 is not in AOSP yet either due to the same licensing issue).
And unless devs find a clever workaround, N73G isn't going to get the same scope of ROMs as the wi-fi version until they sort out the licensing.
Any results yet?
enya123101, did you try the phone.apk ? I'm really eager to find out if the NExus 7 can make phone calls and I can't find answers anywhere
please let us know
Please don't keep us in suspense. This data is what I need to determine between the Nexus 7 or the 10. I find it odd that this question is not being ask more on the net. http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1958686 is the only other thread really that's asking this question and not just some random mentioning of it in a sea of Nexus 7 threads out there.
Thanks again for being the guinea pig.
you can not just push phone.apk in fact your device ALREADY has phone.APK and if you try to push it then you will receive the message "you are replacing a system app.
the reason you cant USE or SEE it is because of the way our framework.res is compiled and it is not set as a phone device it is set as tablet among other settings that are different as well.
its not that easy but hopefully once its out in full force then developers will figure out a way perhaps with custom roms that allow it.
any info yet

It's a tablet, you shouldn't be able to make calls in the first place, except over VOIP. I suspect the update disabled whatever workaround allowed it.

I really don't know what you're asking. You didn't say anything about being able to receive SMS messages in your previous posts, and while in theory the tablet can receive them it's not an officially supported feature and is only there to allow you to manage your mobile data connection. The link to the factory images doesn't make any reference to the 2013 Nexus 7 being able to make phone calls or send SMS - it has the words "Nexus 7 2013, mobile" because it's the 2013 Nexus 7 that has a mobile data radio in it.
Here's the official manual: http://static.googleusercontent.com...roid/android_ug_42/Nexus-7-Guidebook-2013.pdf
If you can find any references in there to phone calls I will eat this post.

The Nexus 7 LTE does not have the necessary hardware to make normal phone calls.
It does have a basic SMS receiver app as stock.
EDIT: apparently it does have the hardware, but it's disabled somehow. See comment below.

it was my mistake on this.
i think i tried another tab to do a call.

Mine receives and sends SMS into a 2g/3g network with no problems following the addition of the MMS.apk mentioned in another thread. LTE isn't here yet, and I suspect won't be for another couple of years!

The Nexus 7 LTE does not have the necessary hardware to make normal phone calls.
It does have a basic SMS receiver app as stock.

Aaaaactually - it *does* have the necessary hardware to make normal phone calls. However, Goog has blocked the ability to use it, possibly right on the chip..
So you're technically wrong, but for all intents and purposes, right (AFAWK).

Viewsonic Viewpad 7 could.
Samsung Note 8 LTE can.
ASUS Fonepad. (and Padfone) can.
Dell Streak could.
Hopefully you're wrong

dude this topic is like beating a dead horse its been talked about so much.....Only way you'll make voice calls is if you use google voice and purchase groove ip. But no GSM won't work on this device its a tablet ........sorry if I sound mean not trying to just that there are threads on here already with this topic actually.
No I think he doesn't know his phone number. Check the number have them dial again.

If I am not mistaken, most of Samsung's 7"ish tablets have phone capability when sold outside the US (I owe a 7.7 and the original P1000)
I would love my Nexus 7 to be used as a phone... If not then I guess I may have to go for a Nexus 5 (Whihc is probably what Google and the telco wants you to do...)
Yes it is the mother ship or ships doing this. More plans equals more money.

Does voLTE require a hardware upgrade or is this potentially a feature that all n6s can enjoy?

My house phone is better than your iPhone.
T-mobile is actually testing VoLTE on N6. I think it will be in the OS. Time will tell.
Band 12 volte and WiFi calling I hope but I'm more interested in performance and battery improvements

While that may or may not be accurate they at least have some good news. I won a Nexus 9 from them during the 20 days of giveaways in December so they aren't all bad.
As far as 5.1 goes if its out on VZW then it will be out on all Nexus 6's as far as I'm concerned. Whether or not google posts the ROM devs can likely extract the files and incorporate them into a ROM. Let's see what happens because I would like to use B12 and WiFi calling on T-Mobile. I know T-Mobile has to enable some things in their end for it to work but at least we would have the software here ready and waiting.
With all the issues the N6 has on Sprint I wouldn't be surprised if Verizon wants that fixed before releasing on their network. Maybe the texting and call issues are CDMA related rather than Sprint specific?
I've had my N6 on Verizon for months, and everything works perfectly.

Same, with the exception of the network extender. On the extender, no 3G data and the signal indicator goes wonky. It also tries very hard to connect to an outside tower rather than the extender...
Hope they fix the data icon and connections taking long to actually connect
Have Verizon actually got a n6 with 5.1 or is it just hearsay.

Well, at this point, until the device is announced, it's just hearsay.

Hell, my wifi doesn't want to connect if I toggle it off, then back on later. Gotta do a reboot most times.

Some discussion at the thread above.
Edit: hit return too quick.
I don't recall seeing anything official from Verizon or Google that it will be 5.1. I think that's what everyone is guessing based on the features posted by Verizon for the phone, T-Mobile comments and that 5.1 has been spotted somewhere in the world on some handsets. I'm looking forward to it as I have a lot of problems with WiFi and Bluetooth which I hope this will clear up. Also, if rumors are true and we get wifi calling, band 12 (t-mobile customer) and VoLTE, all the better.
