I have a note 1 GT-N7000 and almost never talk on my cell phone - I use my Gvoice VOIP for that with a real home phone. However, there will be times I'll need to talk on a cell phone.
Anyone have any idea if or how this might be workable on a nexus 7 lte with say, the T-mo $30 walmart plan (100 minutes a month, 5GB data)? I know that there are VOIP app options like GrooveIP but that has really sucked for me in the past. I doubt there will be a voice mic on the nexus 7 LTE but bluetooth would work. The only problem I see is there not being a native dialer?
Is this somewhat possible or is this a hopeless endeavor?
Anyone? Bueller, bueller?

probably a lack of response as there are 2 or 3 current threads with responses in the past 24 hrs.
there is a microphone.
you can make VOIP calls via speaker method.
i installed a dialer from the playstore and could not make calls.
i installed GO SMS PRO from the playstore and SMS work perfectly.
i installed LINE & WHAT'S APP and they work fine.
my voice calling relies on skype:
OUTGOING - using on using skype Caller ID to identify my usual Australian mobile phone number
INCOMING - calls to my Australian mobile phone number are forwarded to my Australian skype number

But we cannot do a normal call. Is hardware or a software problem?
Has anyone got a native dialer to work at all?
You're not going to be able to make cellular voice calls on the Nexus 7 LTE. It doesn't have the hardware.
I'll sell you my Samsung Galaxy 7.7 if you want a giant phone, however.

It is probably not a hardware limitation. Hopefully there will be ways to get around. I love my 7.7 but the Nexus is definitely better

well today i've installed Go SMS on my N7 LTE n i was able to receive and even send SMS (real SMS through mobile carrier network, not the OTT service).
I've also tried to install Go contacts, which has a dialer to test the phone call ability but no luck, N7 didn't seem to catch the call although i could still hear bip bip through my phone (which call the N7' sim)
conclude: n7 can go texting just fine, but can't make a call. i don't know if developers can solve the latter.

Hey everyone!
I have, what i hope to be, an easily solvable issue.
I am studying abroad and my school gave me a free nokia crap phone which is great for making phone calls. I also happened to bring with me my G2 (unlocked) and have a seperate plan with just data, I just carry these two phones around and the system has pretty much worked fine for me.
However, I realized today that I coud forward the incoming calls from my crap phone to my G2. I like this because since I have a nice phone I kinda wanna use it! I only have one issue, outgoing calls. If I could set up outgoing call forwarding to my crap phone, I could just leave it in my room and just carry around the G2.
TLDR, is it possible to make calls through the G2 and have it routed through my other phone number?

Are you rooted? If you are and your running on CM Roms there's an option for call forwarding, i never checked on stock and different roms so don't ask me
Fly like a G2
Not possible. Take a look at GOOGLE VOICE, may be able to help.
Yeah, definitely sounds like a Google Voice thing, and a fun problem to solve really.

doesn't the nokia have a sim? take the sim out and put it in your g2!
Problem is that I use a data sim in my G2...switching the 2 sims constantly would be more annoying than carrying two phones.

I am having the same problem, I am looking to forward outgoing calls to my nice phone.
Did you figure a way to do it?
- Either by programmatically create conference calls?
- Or by having the calls forwarded?
Thanks, Jonathan
Hi all,
is there really no way to use the A101 as a phone? (with the SIM! - not Skype etc)
I'm wondering why other tablets (Odys, Galaxy Tab) are able to do so
You could use text+ from the market.I tried it before and worked pretty good to turn this to a phone tablet.but wwsnt sure how I would eventually need to start spending money.but tot turn it into a phone,try that app.
Sent from my A100 using XDA
don't know if you understand me
I need to make and take calls with the tablet - SMS and UMTS is working, but there's no way to make or take calls
I wasn't able to find a app called text+ / plus in the market
No. The A501/A101 doesn't have the hardware for making calls.

The closest you can get that I am aware of would be to use either Skype, or Google Voice GrooveIP combo which could be used over the access provided by the SIM and associated provider, however it would still be VOIP and not the type of phone you speak of, BUT it would allow you to send and receive normal phone calls from/to real phones/mobile phones. SO I don't see any reason to care. GrooveIP is like $6 and then the google voice number is free. don't knock it lol
I used text+.
It worked as a phone.
I understood,don't know if its still on the market,but it works as a phone for your tablet.its not like Skype.
It makes your tablet a phone,and it gives you a real phone number.

Hi All-- I really miss Tmobile wifi calling, and I have finally put together a system which works for me...so I thought I would share it if anyone is interested.
It works about as well as Wifi Calling did on my Tmobile Gs2.
I have found this to have two main benefits over the Groove IP method put together by codesplice here: (note: all credit goes to codesplice--he did the heavy lifting on this..I just modified his approach)
1) the call quality is a LOT better. a LOT LOT LOT better. Groove IP sucks.
2) with this method, calls will still ring through to your gmail (assuming you have it set up that way in google voice)
Download these apps to your phone:
CSIPSimple
Google Voice
Google Voice Callback (donate) (you can get it from the amazon appstore...not on the play store anymore for some reason)
Tasker (you need the newest beta, available here http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html )
Secure settings
Download this file, unzip it, and put the files on your phone's SD card (tasker profiles):
https://docs.google.com/file/d/0B4nxPgKYHIDjbVN1b3IzNC0wd1E/edit?usp=sharing
Instructions:
1) Go to Callcentric.com and sign up for a free account. Write down your SIP number that it gives you (it will start with 1777)
2) also in callcentric, sign up for a free phone number. If you say that you live in the us, you have to pay for 911 access....
3) Open CSIPSimple on your phone. It will pop up with some questions about when you want it to work. I have mine set to ONLY be in use when I am connected to a wifi network. Then add an account. It will have an option for callcentric. Do that and sign in with your callcentric account (username is the 1777 number again).
4) Go to voice.google.com on your computer, go to the settings page, and add the new phone number that you got from callcentric (the phone number, not the 1777 number). It will call you to confirm the number...it should ring through to your phone! (note: under your regular cell number, choose 'edit>advanced>make sure that "Ring my other phones before going to voicemail " is checked)
--You have now set it up for incoming calls. If that's all you care about, you are done! Any call made to your google voice number will ring through to your phone via wifi calling.--
Now we're going to set it up to make outgoing calls
5) Open Google Voice Callback. Sign in with your account. In the settings, choose your new callcentric phone number as the callback number. That's it! you're set! now when you initiate an outgoing call, it will ring back to you, and you are good to go for free wifi calling!
--If you don't care about automating it, you can stop now.--
We're now going to set it up so that it works like WIFI calling, meaning that it a) turns on when connected to a good wifi network, b) turns off your cell radio when connected so you're not wasting battery, and c) it turns off automatically when you are not connected to wifi. We will do this with the miracle of tasker.
6) Make SURE you are on the latest beta of tasker. It is required for this to work!
You can find the newest beta here: http://tasker.dinglisch.net/beta.html
DL this zip file that I put together with my tasker profiles, unzip the files and put them on your SD card. Open up tasker and long-press on the 'profiles' tab. Choose import, and then import them.
Ze hu! You're done! Please let me know if it works--and I'm happy to try to help if it doesn't.
If it works for you, please click 'thanks'!
----
Note--the tasker profiles were put together originally by codesplice, and all credit for them goes to him, not me. You can find his thread here: http://forum.xda-developers.com/showthread.php?t=1646755

The advantage of CSIPSimple over the native SIP client in JB is that CSIPSimple can be set to only operate when connected to wifi.
I hope this is useful for everyone--works great for me!

Will this work on phone data or wi-fi only?

I have it specifically set up so that it only works on wifi--I don't want it on 3g.
However, if you want it to work over a data connection, that's just a simple settings change in the CSIPSimple app for incoming, and then you'll want to modify the tasker profile that interacts with Google Voice Callback so that outgoing goes through GVCB by default on 3g as well.
I tried creating 2 different accounts at ipkall and each time I get my phone number and try to put it into GV I get an error saying that the number is already in use by 2 other accounts!
4th account was the charm, thanks!
Keep trying....and try a different area code. If a number isn't used for 30 days it resets and is assigned again

Really quick question regarding this topic. Are these wifi calls for free? Tmobile call me today to see how I was doing after a week with their service and ask me if I wanted to add free wifi calling. I asked the lady if it was free she said it was and it wouldn't count in my minutes is this true?

Yes, if done correctly the calls are free. With my phone in airplane mode and wi-fi on, all calls go through Google Voice then through the free SIP account(s)

Is there an alternative to gv callback? I'd prefer not to have the amazon appstore installed. Thanks for this. The incoming call quality is much better than groove. I've been testing multiple setups on my ns4g before I move to the gn in a few weeks.

Yes, Voice+ is what I'm using right now. Working so far. Only problem I have with this is that all your outgoing calls come up as calls from your Goole Voice number.
I used voice plus originally, but it doesn't allow different profiles for wifi vs cell (gvcb has tasker integration)

Hi I have two issues with the GN2.
1. I use Outlook with about 1500 contacts and the voice dialing over bluetooth is very slow and seems to not be as accurate as it could be, and wastes steps in getting to where it starts dialing the call. I came from a Lumina 710 w/Windows 7.8 and there is no comparision to how well windows voice dials over bluetooth as compared to the GN2. It's almost a deal breaker and I might return within the 14 days. A good answer or remedy to make it more accurate and speed it up would help.
2. I am using "Record My Call" and it will only record the "incoming" portion of the call when calling with bluetooth, not my side, but is very clear and loud for the other person. I can record both sides of the call if I don't use bluetooth, but the recording quality is not as good. Is there any work around to get my side of the conversation recorded over bluetooth? Thanks.

Well, I have my return authorization code and am returning the Note II today. Wish the voice dailing over bluetooth would have worked better because otherwise, this phone is great. Ken B.
Outlook+windows mobile=good
Outlook+google android=bad
Gmail+google++android=good
Change phones, or port contacts, me id choose the later

Hi Rhiannon, I'm using a Plantronics Pro Voyager and it is top of the line as far as I can tell. I did receive the Lumina 810, and it is just as accurate and fast as the Lumina 710 I had before or faster in voice dailing. No comparison at all with the Note II, and I really think it has to do with the "guts" of how S voice works with all the contacts I have. I think that if a person only had a hundred or so contacts S voice might work fast and accurately, but for 1200 contacts and multiple numbers per contact, it really bogged down. Maybe next phone will be Android, but for now, I will stick with Windows. Thanks.
