Of course, phone calls are not the direct destination of tablet devices. However, not everyone will agree with this. After all, tablets (from Samsung, Lenovo, Asus, Prestigio and other manufacturers) are often used as a telephone means of communication. Moreover, some models are capable of making calls to both landline and mobile numbers. But not everyone knows how to make calls using a tablet, as well as what parameters the device itself must respond to in order for it to function as a phone.
Many people mistakenly believe that if the tablet is equipped with a SIM card slot and 3G or LTE communication modules, then from such a device you can call, as with regular smartphone... The fact is that the GSM module is responsible for the calls. So if you choose Tablet PC and sometimes want to use it as a phone, then pay attention that the device is equipped with it.
After all, if there is a GSM module, then there will be no difficulties in making a call from a tablet via a SIM card. It is enough to be in the GSM coverage area. Then the device will automatically acquire the functions of the phone. How to call through it? A tablet with a GSM module in the main menu will have the installed branded application for making calls (it is often called "telephone", and the icon resembles a telephone receiver).
If there is no GSM-module, then you can call from the tablet. But only with the help additional software... That is, using the capabilities of the Internet and special applications (messengers). This could be:
- Viber
- Skype
- Whatsapp messenger
- Fring and many others. dr.
Do you want to check if a particular tablet supports GSM communication technology, which makes it possible to make calls like from a smartphone or a regular mobile? This can be done on Yandex.Market. It is enough in the search window (all filters) to check the box next to "work in cell phone».
As for tablets Apple iPad, then here it is worth looking for the mark "Cellular + 3G (4G)" on the packaging or in the description of the device. It indicates the ability of the tablet to act as a mobile device. If you see only the inscription "+ 3G" without "Cellular", then you cannot call from such a device via a sim card.
Let's talk about one more important point... A 3G module is also necessary if you want to make calls from a tablet as from a regular phone. Why? It's simple - a tablet without 3g does not have a SIM card slot. Therefore, when choosing a device, pay attention to the presence of this parameter in the characteristics of the device.
How to make calls from a tablet to a mobile phone?
It should be noted that to make calls through a tablet with a GSM-module, you will also need special application... Such a program is called a dialer, dialer, "dialer", etc. The bottom line is that some models come with a pre-installed "dialer", while others do not. Therefore, many users have to independently download and install dialers on their devices.
Some of the most popular of these programs include:
- RocketDial Dialer & Contacts
- 2GIS Dialer
- ExDialer
- ExDialer
- Dialer + etc.
You can download all these dialers through Google play Market. Most of them support various operating systems. Means, similar applications easily fit mobile devices running on both android and windows 10.
The only caveat is that not all dialers are free. As a rule, manufacturers give several days to try out the "dialer". Most often, the period of free use is 7 days. Then the program starts asking for money.
On a note!
Some tablets equipped withGsm-module, telephone communications may not work. The thing is that sometimes manufacturers block this possibility, not allowing the device to be used as a phone. Special firmware can help.
How to make calls from a tablet without a SIM card?
Do not be very upset if your tablet is not equipped with a SIM card slot or GSM module. As we noted above, you can still make calls from such a device. True, for this you have to take advantage of the opportunities worldwide network and special messengers.
We will not describe all such applications. It is enough to go to Play Market and download the one you like best. Just do not forget that instant messengers have their own characteristics. For example, you can communicate through them (including making calls) only if your interlocutor has the same application installed.
Let's sum up
It turns out that you can call from a tablet via a sim card only in those cases when you have:
- 3G module (devices without support for this communication technology do not have a SIM card slot);
- GSM-module (it is he who makes it possible to work in networks cellular);
- Special installed software (dialer, dialer or dialer).
Otherwise, you will have to make calls from your tablet differently. Without using a SIM card, but limiting ourselves to what messenger applications like Viber, Skype, Fring offer (somewhat similar to Skype, but less popular), Google talk(developed by by Google and Windows specifically for tablets of the prestige brand), etc.
The GSM standard is based on a specific wireless technology... In Europe, the network is already in use long time and it is well developed. GSM-equipped smartphones and tablets use SIM cards to identify the owner. It turns out that 3G is not enough to make calls from a tablet. In other words, the presence of GSM is the main condition for making calls. Yes, and go to, also available using of this module communication.
TOP 3 apps for making calls from a tablet
1. The first place among such utilities is, of course, Skype... This software has long earned a reputation as a quality product that is used by millions. Skype is available for different platforms and this is another reason for its popularity. In order to make calls, you will only need Internet access. The quality of the connection depends on the speed of access, so this factor should be taken into account. In addition, headphones or a microphone will not need to be connected (if the tablet has a built-in speaker and microphone). In short, the software is incredibly user-friendly. Prices are affordable, you can purchase an unlimited subscription. To access the functionality of the application, you will need Account(you can register in just a minute).Conclusion: comfortable and functional program with a nice interface.
2.
Second place goes to Viber... You do not need to register to use the application. It is enough just to use your phone number, you will have to send an SMS with a code that will need to be entered in the utility interface. You don't need to configure anything else. Contacts from notebook are transferred to the program, which is very convenient.
Conclusion: simple software that is suitable for calls.
Modern tablets are equipped with a SIM card slot, which allows you to access the Internet via 3G and 4G modules. Many users mistakenly believe that the presence means that you can call from it in the same way as from a mobile phone. In fact, in order to make a call from a tablet, it is necessary that, in addition to the SIM card slot, the device also has a GSM module that allows voice calls and send SMS messages.
Therefore, before you go to the store to buy a tablet, you need to have a brief idea of which tablets you can call from, and which ones you can't? The most common misconception when choosing a tablet lies in the fact that many people think that 3G and GSM networks are one and the same. Indeed, to use each of these two communication standards, a SIM card is required in the device, for which all tablets that support 3G networks are equipped with a slot.
However, this SIM card in the tablet only provides Internet support, and to use the services mobile communications you also need to be present in the device GSM module ... If the tablet does not have a GSM module, then you can call from it only after you install one of the following programs on it: Skype, Line2 or Fring for iPad tablets from Apple, Viber or ooVoo. By installing one of these programs on your tablet, you can turn it into mobile device allowing to perform free calls to anywhere in the world. Provided that you register in one of the specified programs. By far, the most common and well-known program today by almost all users is Skype(Skype). You can download the program completely free of charge from Google Play and talk within the network for free. After you have passed the registration, start the program and go through the authorization. When making calls directly from Skype using the search function, find the person you need to call frequently and add them to your notebook.
However, in order to make a Skype call to a mobile phone or a landline number, you will need to top up your account using a bank or plastic card... You can make free Skype calls from your tablet to any corner of the planet only if the person you are calling also has Skype. The only drawback of Skype is interference when there are problems with Internet access. That's why good connection via Skype can only be when the tablet is connected to a high-speed and high-quality Internet.
All tablets on the market today can be divided into four groups: the first - supporting only Wi-Fi networks, the second - supporting Wi-Fi and 3G networks and the third - supporting Wi-Fi, 3G and GSM, the fourth - supporting Wi-Fi and GSM networks. The third and fourth groups of tablet models are equipped with a GSM module and assume that you can make calls from the tablet. In order to select these models of tablets, when buying, check with the seller which networks the device supports.
There are many models on sale today with built-in GSM module, for example, you can call without any problems from your tablet Samsung Galaxy Tab, Samsung N8000 Galaxy Note, iPad 4, iPad 3, iPad mini, Asus Nexus 7, Asus MeMO Pad and others. Among the cheap Chinese models, the ability to make calls is supported by the GamerPad M9 PRO, GaxyPad, EGO CarPad, SuperPad ZDX and Dreambook W7 WT models.
To understand whether you can call from a tablet that you have already bought, you need to turn it on and look among the programs for a special application for dialing a phone number, which is usually called a "dialer". If it is present, it means that you can make calls from your tablet. True, in some tablets this program is blocked and in order to make a call, you must unblock it yourself by updating the firmware.
When making a call from a tablet, keep in mind that connection quality 80% will depend on the capabilities and specifications of the device itself. Many cheap models Chinese tablets today they are equipped with a GSM module and you can make calls from them, but their audibility is very poor. Therefore, when purchasing them, you should immediately buy a separate microphone with headphones or. By the way, purchasing these accessories is useful for all users of tablets with a screen over 7 inches. After all, keeping such a "shovel" next to your ear is not very convenient and pleasant, but with Bluetooth headset you can talk without taking your tablet out of your bag.
And yet, having heard the question: "How to call from a tablet?" the first answer that comes to mind is "A tablet is not a device worth buying for mobile communications." It cannot be a full-fledged replacement for a mobile phone, therefore, a child should not buy a tablet, hoping that he will be able to use it both as a computer and as a smartphone. The dimensions of the tablet are inconvenient for making calls, and in most models the built-in microphone and the speaker is poor.
Initially, tablets in the usual sense of the word (thin compact devices with a diagonal of 7-10 inches) were designed for web surfing and working with a variety of applications. However, progress does not stand still, and every day user requests are growing more and more. Now many are interested in the question “is it possible to call from a tablet”, because this would greatly simplify the task of choosing equipment for everyday use.
Wi-Fi, 3G and GSM
The answer to this question lies in the features of tablet models. There are three main types of tablets on the market now: Wi-Fi capable, Wi-Fi and 3G capable, and Wi-Fi, 3G, and GSM at the same time. GSM is just that communication standard, in the presence of which the tablet can be used as a telephone. Understand if you have GSM? very simple: there is a slot for a SIM card - you can make calls, there is no slot - you need to use for calls special programs... This is where the answer to the question of whether it is possible to call from a tablet, as from a mobile, in the absence of the possibility of using a SIM card, lies.
Calls using special programs
On this moment there are several programs that allow you to use your tablet as a phone using the Internet: this is standard Skype (for tablets using Android, Windows and iOS), Line2 or Fring (only for products Apple) and others, such as Viber or ooVoo. When using these programs, you can make free calls between users, however, in order to call a landline or mobile number, you will have to pay real money in accordance with the manufacturers' tariffication. And Line2 for iOS helps your tablet turn into a phone for a monthly fee.
For each of these programs to work, user registration is required, which is possible either when you first start the program, or on the manufacturer's official website. To register, you will need an email address, nickname and, in rare cases, a phone number. Registration does not take much time, so you can start using the program to make calls in a few minutes after installing it.
Most convenient program Skype remains - in addition to voice calls, you can use video communication, which, however, will be justified only if there is front camera... However, any programs operating outside of GSM require high-quality internet, that is, sufficient speed and stability of communication. Unfortunately, now not in all cities free wifi is available on most streets, so you can't really use a tablet instead of a phone.
Find out what a tablet is for and what else this miracle of technology is capable of.
Can I make calls from my tablet? Can. Is it possible to replace with tablets modern smartphones? No, as long as it is unjustified. However, with the development of new technologies, tablets can completely replace phones that will become outdated devices as happened now with landline telephones... The main thing is to patiently wait for this moment, until then choosing the most convenient option making calls.
Can I make calls from my tablet and how do I do it? Is it enough for this to have a SIM card of the operator and support for 3G, or is something else required?
This article details how to call from Android tablet(for iPad, I know a way only for the already irrelevant iPad versions 3G, the very first), and useful information about making phone calls from such devices, regardless of which tablet you own.
Can I make calls from a 3G tablet?
It is possible, but unfortunately, not from everyone. Firstly, in order to make ordinary phone calls, like from a mobile phone, the tablet must have a communication module not just 3G, but with GSM support.
But: even in those models where there are no restrictions on calls at the hardware level, telephone communication may not work - in some models it is blocked (software or hardware), for example, the Nexus 7 3G tablets use the same communication module as many phones, however, it will not work to call from it, including those with alternative firmware.
And many of the Samsung tablets Galaxy Tab and Galaxy Note can make calls without additional actions and they already have a built-in "Phone" application (but not all, for some Samsung models additional steps are required to get them to ring).
Thus, you can definitely make calls from your tablet if there is already a dialer there. If not, then the best option will search the Internet to see if there is such a possibility, it happens that:
- The ability to make voice calls is absent in the usual firmware, but in the customized ( best resource to search, in my opinion - w3bsit3-dns.com)
- You can call, but only by setting official firmware for another country.
The ability to make calls (even if not immediately after purchase, but after the firmware) is usually present in tablets running on MTK chips (Lenovo, WexlerTab, Explay and others, however, not all). The best thing is to try to find what they write specifically about your tablet model and the ability to make calls.
In addition, without even setting third-party firmware on your tablet, you can try downloading a dialer (for example, ExDialer) from official store Google Play applications and check if it will work - most likely not, but on some models, where the ability to make calls to cellular network It is not blocked in any way, but there is simply no telephony application, it works.
How to make calls from tablet to phone using the Internet
If it turns out that it is impossible to call from your tablet as from a regular phone, but there is a 3G module on it, you still have the opportunity to make calls to landline and mobile phones, using the Internet access.
The best, in my opinion, way to do this is the familiar Skype for most of you. Although many people know that it can be used to call not only another person on Skype (it's free), but also to regular phones, almost no one uses it.
Their tariffs are quite attractive: 400 minutes of calls to all landline and mobile numbers in Russia will cost you about 600 rubles per month, there is also unlimited plans for calls to landline numbers (about 200 rubles more per month you will pay for unlimited internet from a tablet).
Well last option, which does not imply calls to regular phones, but allows you to communicate by voice - these are all the same popular Viber and Skype and many other similar applications that can be downloaded for free in the Google Play store.
Tablets are slowly but very surely displacing the famous smartphones from their positions, and not far off are the days when tablet computers will become universal devices in the world of IT technologies. But, today more and more owners of touch gadgets are asking themselves the question: how to make calls from a tablet? It seems to be a simple question, but it confuses many users of 7 and 8-inch devices.
Erroneous judgment
It is far from all tablets that are equipped with a 3G module that you can call - this is a common marketing ploy used by many manufacturers, including Lenovo. Most users mistakenly believe that the presence of 3G provides 100% opportunity to call friends and family from their newly purchased gadget, however, this is not so.
The 3G standard provides access to the Internet, but the GSM module is responsible for the telephone connection. Therefore, the skillful manipulation of words allowed the marketer to form a very solid scheme for promoting goods. It follows from this that a tablet with a phone function must be equipped with a GSM module. How to find out? It is necessary to carefully read the technical characteristics of the device and best of all on the official website.
Ways and methods of making calls
The development of technologies does not stand still, every day something new comes out and it is completely not surprising that ordinary phone calls can be made via the Internet. Calling friends or family using a multifunctional application is a reality.
Traditional calls
As mentioned above, your tablet must have the GMS module to make calls. First of all, of course:
- We check for the presence of the specified module;
- We buy a SIM card or use our own;
- We insert it into the designated slot and reboot the device.
After switching on, we find a shortcut with a handset icon, as in the image above. Depending on the Android version and preinstalled shell, the program icon may differ slightly.
Now the user only needs to type required number or select a contact from the phone book and make test call... It is recommended to use headphones for making calls, as the phone and tablet near the ear looks rather ridiculous.
How to make calls from a tablet yet - you ask? It's very simple because the World Wide Web offers incredible opportunities.
Viber is the future?
Undoubtedly rapid development operating room Android systems brought great amount positive aspects, for example, the appearance of a functional and very useful program Viber.
The scheme of work is very simple: in order to call another user, the Viber client must be on both devices. Today it is available for all popular operating systems:
- Windows;

- Skype;
- Mail Agent and others.
Their main function- this is fast exchange short messages between registered users. But companies do not stop there and go further: the exchange of files, emoticons, video and phone calls on the network have become a decisive link in the emergence of a fundamentally new technology.
Call options
Now Skype is one of the the most popular messengers allows for a fee to make calls to any operators around the world. It is enough to register on the official website, deposit money into the account and call. Billing is carried out in dollars, so prices must be specified in advance.
Free communication
The installed program client on the devices of Samsung, Lenovo, Huawei and others allows the owners to communicate with each other absolutely free of charge via group or personal video calls within the messenger's network. The program confidently holds the leading position in the provision of video and telephone calls in the world.
Modem calls
Many Internet users ask: how to make calls from a tablet when a stationary SIM card slot is physically absent? Everything is very simple, because in this case, it will come to the rescue external modem, models and configurations, which are now a lot. But, the main problem consists in the correct software that could organize the work of the tablet and an external modem.
I am waiting for a call
Not so long ago, in the PlayMarket online store, a very interesting application"Waiting for a call", the initial functions of which are limited only by sending free USSD requests. However, upon a detailed examination of the program, it turned out that it was allowed to make a call using an external modem.
Main window
In spite of simple design modem, it contains very great opportunities which at correct use give very nice results... Some manufacturers, for example, Huawei, already initially equip their modems with a voice function, which allows you to make calls and send SMS messages - before buying, you should check with a consultant for the availability of this function.
Windows tablets
Main window
The user will only need a free modem, time and a little patience - the results will not leave themselves waiting long.
It should be noted that many modem manufacturers and mobile operators release their own software, which is already sharpened for the manufactured devices.
The main thing is to try and experiment - they are not afraid of what will not work: everything is achieved on personal experience and failures.

It is worth saying that it is possible, but not with anyone. To commit phone call As with a cell phone, a so-called communication module, not just 3G, but also supporting GSM communication, must be installed in the tablet.
But in those models where there are no restrictions on calls, telephone communication may not work - in certain models it is simply blocked (by hardware or software), for example, the Nexus 7 3G uses the same communication module as in phones, but it is unlikely that it will be possible to call from it, even with a "black" firmware.
Also quite a few Samsung tablets Galaxy Tab as well Note Galaxy can call without any additional action. The fact is that they already have a built-in application called "Phone" (but the truth is not all).
We can say in the affirmative that you can easily make calls from your tablet if there is a so-called dialer. And if it is not, then the best option would be to search the World Wide Web to see if such a possibility exists.
It is also worth noting that calls through the site are gaining more and more popularity these days. This will be discussed in this article just below.
The ability to call from a tablet to a phone (for example, after flashing) is usually available for tablets that run on MTK chips (these are Explay tablets, WexlerTab, and others). The best thing would be to try to find what exactly they write about your tablet model and whether it is possible.
However, it is worth noting that even without installing incomprehensible firmware on your tablet, you can easily download the dialer program (ExDialer) from the office. the Google Play store and then check if it works. But it may not work, because on some models, where making calls via cellular communication is not blocked in any way, there is simply no application for telephony.
Is it possible to call from a tablet to a phone using the Internet?
If you come to the conclusion that it does not work, but the 3G module is still present on it, then it is possible to make a call to a mobile and landline phone using world wide web the Internet. It is worth saying that in my humble opinion this is a familiar service excitel.ru or Skype. Many people know that with the help of these services you can call ordinary mobile and landline phones. True, few people use this opportunity.
The rates for these services are very attractive. You can find out about them in detail if you go to the official website and choose the most optimal tariff.

Find out what a tablet is for and what else this miracle of technology is capable of.
Can I make calls from my tablet? Can. Is it possible to replace modern smartphones with tablets? No, as long as it is unjustified. However, with the advancement of new technologies, tablets may completely supplant phones that will become obsolete devices, as is now the case with landline phones. The main thing is to patiently wait for this moment, until then choosing the most convenient option for making calls.
Now a lot of people ask themselves the question: "How to make calls from a tablet?" And this is understandable, because similar devices are becoming more and more compact. Seven-inch devices fit easily into the inner pocket of the jacket. Why not replace your smartphone with them then? At least for a while. Every person with a small tablet computer visited this thought. But is this idea feasible? And is it convenient to call from a tablet?
Theory
It would seem that the answer to the question "how to call from a tablet" should be very simple. But it is not so. There are many pitfalls here. A tablet computer is very similar to a smartphone. But this is not an overgrown smartphone, as many believe. Many such gadgets have a 3G module. Remember laptops and netbooks, though. They also often have a SIM card slot. But you can't call them. Why is that?
You may be wondering how to call from Explay tablet or something else. But no one will give you an exact answer. The fact is that most often tablet computers do not have a GSM module. Namely, it is necessary to make calls to mobile networks... A SIM-card is installed in such devices only to be able to access the Internet. The abandonment of the GSM module freed up space for other components to be placed in it. But more often than not, it is not used at all. It turns out a kind air gap cooling the processor or GPS chip.
Gimmicks
You still have a glimmer of hope to find out, In principle, you are right, you should not despair. Some gadgets are still equipped with a GSM module. This is especially true for old models that were assembled using smartphone technologies. This is very good news for those who are wondering how to call from a Lenovo tablet. After all, it was Lenovo that at one time produced several tablet computers with the ability to call over mobile networks.
Why has the situation changed now?
Gradually, such tablet computers began to be produced less and less. It seems that manufacturers have started to save on pennies. GSM-module weighs very little, and its cost is calculated in cents. Why did they stop installing it in modern tablets?
Most often, developers simply do not go to bother with an extra antenna. The GSM module itself is tiny. But it does have a decent antenna that doesn't fit in every tablet PC. It can also transmit a signal very poorly (due to the aluminum case).
Taking care of users?
There is an opinion that the waves going to cell towers are hazardous to health. Tablet PC manufacturers naturally also have this information. That is why they decided to get rid of the GSM module. In their opinion, waves with Internet traffic affect human health less. A highly controversial statement.
Perhaps the manufacturers, if they were asked how to call from Lenovo tablet, would answer the question with a question: "Why? This is terribly inconvenient!" Say, even holding a seven-inch device in one hand is quite difficult. And if you also bring it to your ear ... Everything is true, if not for one thing: they forget that there is Speakerphone and Because of this "care", the forums are literally full of questions about how to call from the tablet. Yes, people are very surprised that it is impossible to call from him.
Digital technology
Small amendment. It is impossible to make calls only via GSM networks. But no one canceled all sorts of internet calls! Now there are a lot of Internet services through which you can make a call from any device with a microphone. And it is now available in every tablet computer. The trouble is, the quality of the microphone can be very disappointing at times. You may be hard to hear, as if you are calling from under the water. Similar microphones were installed in old cassette audio players. It is surprising that over the years the situation has changed little for the better.
Only equipped with a decent microphone. If you have an average price category then it doesn't matter. Buy a headset, communicate with it. You can even purchase wireless model, since almost every tablet computer has a Bluetooth module.
Most popular services
To use a particular service, you first need to download its proprietary application from Google Play or AppStore. The most popular resource for making Internet calls is now Skype. It supports video communication, so it will be very useful for you when using it. If it is absent, do not worry, this will only consume less traffic. Remember that Skype should not be kept open for background... Only run it if you are going to call someone. Otherwise, the app will drain your battery quickly.
The rest of the services have not yet gained much popularity. But you still need to mention them. First of all, we shouldn't forget about the Fring app for iPad tablets. Among Android users, the ooVoo and Viber applications are well known. With their help, you can also talk with your friends and colleagues through your tablet. If you need to call a mobile phone, then the same Skype or Line2 will come to the rescue. However, be prepared to fork out. Both services allow you to call mobile and landline numbers for a fee.
