Do I need to set up anything on the tablet to use it as a phone? Will this work as a phone right away ater I put in sim card?

I bought it for my mom, and she uses it as a tablet. I don't know if this can even work as a phone. You may want to check with your carrier.

It won't come with the SIM card, your expecting GSM networks carrier ( ATT, H2O wireless, T-Mobile ..etc.. ) will sale it to you as phone services, it requires Mini SIM card.

As a WiFi phone yes. I don't have the tablet setup on a mobile network. I currently use this on my nettalk duo account

I don't know if it could be used as a phone, I really don't think it can, you can download texting app or Skype etc..

One of the things that attracted me to it was the ability to host 2 SIMS. I found that only AT&T;/T-Mobile offered SIMS without attaching a phone to it. It worked as a phone.. sorta. It could not transfer data via the data link. I called AT&T; service via the tablet and found that the servers didn't understand how to transfer it because they don't have a profile for it. So, I suppose it will act as a phone anywhere, it may not be able to connect the world wide web...

No and you cannot use it as a phone. I ended up giving it to my nephew to use on wi-fi at home.

On checking the manual, there is a SIM card slot as an option but that option does not exist on my tablet. Apparently it does on the tablet owned by the other responder. The Micro SD card slot is open but not the SIM slot next to it so it would only function as a phone by VOIP, like Skype or Viber. I would hope, if the model you buy has a SIM slot, it would say so. A SIM slot would be GSM if it were there; the other choice is CDMA which is built into the phone/tablet, not a removable card.

It will work as a kind of tablet, but you won't be able to make phone calls.

Hi, this phone does not have mobile phone feature, just a cute little tablet.

It didn't work well, until I took it to AT&T; and got a sim card. It is a phone as well as a tablet. You can go on internet with it or use WIFI. I had to convince them it was a phone too They tried to set it up as a tablet and it didn't work. . Finally, one guy knew it was a phone and he set it upas a phone and it works fine. I have the go phone program which is without contract.

Thanks for the interest. This is not a tablet with call function. This is a tablet that connects via wif and gsm for net browsing. You can make calls using skype app in it, but not as a cell phone. Thank you. KICKmobiles

Android tablet app is free. Phone is $12.99. Both work fine for me but you'll want to be connected to a wifi network or on at least a 4G network. 3G performance generally is choppy at best.
