[tommo123]

could it be used to make phone calls? i read no but is it a hardware or software limitation?

 

[tommo123]

no one?

Can be hacked to do SMS I think, but not make calls.

Any Android device with a suitable data connection can be used to make phone calls. All you need to do is install the appropriate software and configure it with a SIP account to handle the call connection.

not an option in the UK i think. at least not without paying a bunch

i meant actual phone calls, not VOIP. i was basically wondering if it could be used as a 7" phone

I have one like that and, no, it can only be used for data. I don't know what the technical reason is why, but mine only works with data unless voip.

shame. i was hoping to have a 7" phone next time around and a tablet seems the most likely candidate
