The dialer is missing on the sprint version but I managed to get to it..kinda. I installed LauncherPro and HomeSmack. The dialer shows up but when I tap it, it opens Network Manager and gives the error "cannot make calls with the galaxy tab". Hopefully this is a clue that someone more experienced can use. Also there are some fishy apk's I found. If anyone wants a list, or actual apk files please message me.

How are you going to make calls (if at all you somehow get that working) when you don't have a voice calling plan attached to it? The ESN is in the database as a data only device, so i see no point. This is a CDMA Tab.
It's not like the GSM models where you swap the SIM with one from a phone that has a voice/data plan attached to it.
It's assigned a phone number, so it is voice capable. This IS possible to do... but I don't want to try anything crazy until we get Sprint's stock firmware .tar in case I need to wipe completely from a screw-up.
Does anyone know when this will be released? I need it bad!
even to get it to work via Google voice would be nice.
I have hopes that there is a way to make it work. It seems the phone stuff is there, just disabled.
Looks like a Odin package is being made for the Sprint Tab

Additionally, you CAN make emergency calls from the Sprint tab. I've done it
So the capability is there.
I'm also dying to make calls on the sprint tab...really hope someone can help us out.......

The point is not whether it is assigned a phone number (it's a CDMA device so it IS assigned an MDN on the network) or not but whether the account (in this case the Tab) can make and receive phone calls like under a normal plan.
Bump for the cause. I activated my Sprint Galaxy Tab in my country without problem but I still see the roaming icon and the legend "International". Is there a piece of sotware that informs the tablet that Im not using it in a Sprint network or inside EU?
Sorry but my knowledge of cellular networks is null.
i receive calls on spring galaxy tab
i got incoming calls on my sprint galaxy tab but i i dial a call the message comes up i did alot of changes to it trying to get it all working but i didnt realize that the incoming was working since i was only trying to make calls on it and last night someone called me and i was able to talk on it.
only incoming though
so now we know its for sure
with this its obvious that its possible to get outgoing since everything is all there i have my line on cricket and web works for a bit but it reverts back

How do you indicate your desire to place an emergency call? There's no dialer to even punch "911" into...
My clueless-noob side is surely showing, but this is something I'm very interested in, please forgive what's probably a silly question.
Sprint Galaxy Tab and GrooVe IP
I installed grooVe IP last night on my 7" Sprint Galaxy Tab. It was a little bit of a hassle because first you have to set up Google Voice. Then you need to download the Google Voice app and go through the setup. I rebooted my phone and was then able to get more setting adjustments on Google voice website on my desktop to set up my tablet. It seems that I can now make calls from my Tablet. I tried a few different numbers. 2 things I can't get to work is the bluetooth functionality (always comes out through tablet speakers even though "Bluetooth" is the only option selected) and being able to receive calls. I was reading on Google that they are currently working with Sprint to roll out selective call forwarding but that my number is not allowed at this time. Strange that it will let me make a call but not receive one. Anyone have a work around for this. I tried to set up my voicemail but I could never dial into my tablet to enter the activation code provided by Google. If I could get it to receive calls I would be ecstatic. I love being able to do a search on google for a business and when it shows the phone number, be able to call that person by touching the number and not having to do it from my regular phone. Especially when driving.
is there an apk to get phone working on verizon galaxy tab. i am overseas and not using verizon but other carrier got me hooked. they do have the option to use as phone but this tab doesnt have the apk for phone calling. is there a workaround?
You can use line2 from the market. You get a free 30 day trial but then its $10 for unl call and text.
Thx for the reply. What I meant is that is there any way to have dialer on cdma tab ala Europe gsm tabs.
msg on mobile
I've rooted and installed MoDaCo on my T-Mobiile Galaxy Tablet, and have carrier unlocked it and am using it on AT&T. However, for the life of me I can't figure out how to get AT&T's voicemail working with the tablet, and those who call me are told my voicemail is not set up.
My Google voice number is already connected to a DIFFERENT mobile voice number, and I'd prefer just to use AT&T's voicemail until my contract is up and I switch to another carrier - however, I can't find information on how to do this and forum searches have only turned up messages saying "Use Google Voice," which doesn't actually help to solve my problem.
Can someone please point me in the right direction to figure this out? I'm reasonably tech-saavy but could really use a starting point.
Thanks!
EDIT: I should add that I'm new to dealing w/ Android and that if this is a stupid question, my apologies - I'm still working my way through how things work on the platform.
I dunno the local AT&T voicemail for where you're at but what happens when you dial your own number from teh tab? It should let you check your voicemail and/or set it up.

I managed to get AT&T to help me get through it. They had to reset my voicemail password (which I had already done) and I had to set the voice mailbox up again from scratch. They also asked for my IMEI number, but didn't flinch when I told them it was a Galaxy Tab - I was prepared to cancel my contract if necessary, which may have been the reason for their help as they'd be losing multiple voice & data accounts otherwise.
Thanks though!
Hello, ive been searching but cant find a clear answer as to how to sms with tab 7.7 using my verizon number and sim i thougt h left this feature still in and only removed phone function? Am i missing something? I know theres sms apps but i wouod like to use my actual number.
Anyone? Some one pkease help i dont i its because my questions are stupid or not bit i seriously cant find a answer ive been searchin forever sites say it supports sms.
As far as i know, the application that allows you to send sms is called "Messaging"
And the one for call is "Phone".
But mine is an international unlock 3g/wifi version (non lte).. not sure if its the same thou.
Maybe you are looking for TextTab or TabletTalk. Both are in the market and will send/receive text from your tablet.

Its disabled.. Unless someone can hack it but i doubt that.. I dont see any developer for the Verizon 7.7
what i did is ported my current Verizon # to Google Voice which routes calls and text on the tablet to my new Verizon #.. so now my tablet is a full feature phone with unlimited fast LTE data
note: need to use Groove IP for calls... Its $4 but well worth it
Yeah i wanted to port my number but itll cancel my current contract and i have the unlimited data so i definately dont wanna do that. forwarding my verizon calls to my gv is great but i. Cant forward texts.. Thanks for the replies guys just gonna have to return it.
Is there a way to get TMobile advanced messenging and built in video calling in the dialer on the unlocked model? Is there a way to get the built in digits onto the settings as well?
