SMS on LTE Version

I don't know if this has been common knowledge or not, but it is possible to send/receive sms on the tablet if you have a fully operational line on your sim card. Data only won't work. But, if you take the sim from your phone and put it in, you can indeed text.
Hangouts doesn't work, I'm assuming because they restrict the sms feature from tablet-specific versions. But, I did find an app that happily sends/receives texts.

MMS isn't working for me, I don't know if it's a limitation of the app or my apn not being proper(I did set it to have the correct mmsc info).
Maybe someone can get a hangouts app from a phone and sideload it onto their tablet to test that out.
I'm able to send and receive SMS on my LTE table, I use the built in messages app.
^Must be a difference in the US and EU variations then, because there is no option for SMS in the US version that I could find.
Hangouts?
I use 8sms on consumer cellular sim, data&txt in Colorado. Uses either tmo or att
Textra works great as well.
Until I was able to disable at&t all access (pre loaded bloatware on my U.S. model ) it was the SMS app even on the consumer cellular Sim.

Can I ask how you did this?
I let the att app update. Then in app properties it was able to disable like normal apps!

Going international and want to check voicemail and sms

I'm using Galaxy S4 with Android 4.4.4. When I go international, I switch sim cards to a local number instead of my US number.
In the past with Sprint, I used to be able to port my Sprint number with Google Voice. This way my normal Sprint number could store all my voicemail and text messages online and they're accessible online. Now they dumped this feature and it's back to normal service.
Is there another service out there that could emulate this functionality, allowing me to have an international number while traveling but still access my US number voicemail and text messages?

Phone number changes when dialing an International Number

Hi All, I have a connection with H2O wireless in USA. I have this weird problem with my S7 Edge G935FD where whenever I dial an International number, I get a message on screen that says "Number changed by sim" and then the number changes to an US number. This only happens when I dial an International number.
I tried the sim on a Note 2 where it's working fine and the number doesn't get changed. So I'm pretty sure it's something with the phone.
Can someone please help me resolve this issue because whatever International number I dial, I'm finally getting the US number in my call logs and it's impossible to know which number I dialed.

Bumping up. Any help guys?

Bump.
look if you have some sort of SIM management app. If not look under networks and advanced dialing options. You need to disable the automatic code. I think it's set to something and that's what would change the numbers.

I don't see any option where I could disable the automatic code. Looked everywhere in the phone. I don't have advanced dialing options either. I just factory reset my phone and still the same problem. Any help please?
I ran into the same problem and found that if the phone number is listed with a + in front of the area code, i.e. +4051112222, it will be changed by the sim.
To solve this, dial a 1 follow by the area code & number.

How to block Caller ID on outgoing calls (V20 US996)

I just bought a new V20 (model US996). Could someone tell me how to block Caller ID on outgoing calls? Found instructions at the link below but my phone doesn't have the "Additional Settings" shown. Thanks in advance!

I should add that I haven't bought a sim card yet for this phone as I haven't settled on a carrier. Would that make the difference? (I'm completely new to smartphones. This is my first one.)
Additional Settings shows up on my T-Mobile version.
Each carrier seems to have their own set of options or lack there of.

Does this mean that if I buy a T-Mobile Sim Card, it will (somehow?) programme the phone to turn this option on? Or is it that LG programmed it at the factory for the H918 (T-Mobile) model? Or are both of these true? Sorry to pepper with questions. I'm really ignorant of all this right now.
If a T-Mobile Sim won't give me this option, how do I get it? Root the phone? Thanks for your help!
Just dial *67 before the number you want to call

Thanks. But that's a pain to do on every call. I'd rather dial a prefix to turn ON Caller ID when I want it. Any clues on how to get the missing "Additional Settings" to show up on the model 996?

T-Mobile Multi Line settings with Verizon ROM

Hi guys, I'm hoping that someone can help me out with something. I have a Verizon phone and a T-mobile phone with Digits. I want to use the S8 to have calls from both phones work. I know that if I use the T-mobile app I could use the multiline settings and add a digits number but I was wondering if it's possible to access them in the Verizon ROM at all?
