(If anyone has a conduit to Stefan Lecchi he may be the person to ask)

Apologies if this has been covered before lets try and make a definitive answer

Heres the story I had a New Zealand noel lemmings purchased samsung galaxy 10.1 3g tablet That included an factory installed app and the ability to make and receive calls through the on board sim
Here is a link to a youtube vid that's shows a similar device doing that Video


Which below if any allows you to use as a phone? Not Skype Not the great Wassu! Phone app or any other round about ways but use as a phone just like the one I use to own

And If you wonder why I didnt just ask Noel Lemmings I did and this was the reply

"Hi Graham, the Samsung Galaxy Note 8" 16GB 4G Tablet, is a higher spec, more powerful tablet - particularly in terms of its processor - with a 1.6GHz Quad Core Processor, compared with the Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8" 4G 16GB and it's 1.5GHz Dual Core Processor.
The Galaxy Note does, of course have the benefits of precise writing and drawing that come with the s-pen.

In regards to the units' use of SIM cards, although both of these units do have the capability of connecting to the internet via the mobile network, provided the unit has a SIM, the functionality of these tablets is not quiet the same as a Smartphone.
There are apps available with these Tablets that can provide some form of calling from the device, however, something like the Samsung Galaxy note II, which is a smartphone, is recommended for phone calls."
