Phone? HTC Flyer 3G / WiFi HotSpot / GPS / 5MP / 7 Inch Tablet Device: Can I use this device just like a cell phone?

I do not own the tablet - I was only researching various tablets. Anyway - since there aren't any responses you could see whether or not there is a Google Voice app for the tablet. If there is a GV app for the tablet then read the user reviews to find out. SMS would work for sure (even if there isn't an app), but it's difficult to say for vocal calls since I don't own one.

You can, but it takes a little gusto to get it that way. If you click over to the xda forums, there are a few guides to show you how.

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

No. Only Wifi otherwise it would be a lot more money as well as 8gb. You can expand to 32gb with SD card. Preloaded apps are not removable. The way to expand it's capacity is by moving your apps, photos, etc to SD card.3g would require cellular contract and the tablet it self would be a lot more.

Yes you can. I have had Consumer Cellular for almost a year and have used several different phones with them. I currently have the LG Nitro and have been well pleased with the compatibility. I get 4g data coverage and so far the performance has exceeded my expectations. I have not tried using this phone as a hotspot hub, so I can't speak to that feature. Multimedia texting seems to work well.

Like any portable device, it doesn't absolutely need to be connected to the Internet to use the GPS. I'm sure that Google maps isn't the only map product for the tablet. Further, using WiFi or Bluetooth you can probably tether it to your mobile device to get access if you absolutely need it. Just assumptions on my part as I do not have first-hand knowledge of this exact device.

Don't buy the Flyer, Get the Samsung Galaxy Tab 7. There are no updates for the Flyer.... Just saying.. The battery life is ok.Watching movies and TV shows from the SD card is about 4 hours if lucky. 6-7hours of music, and 5Hours for normal use, notes,browsing the net ect...Like I said get the Galaxy Tab 7 With GSM Function 3G, At least you can have jellybean..

The mobile hotspot device allows devices to connect to it through wifi. This stick device connects to one device thru usb.

You don't need any data plan or internet connection to use its GPS function. I have one and I used it without any extra service or plan and as a side note the graphics are very good and it works flawlessly.

If you're using CDMA/ Verizon service they will not let you use your phone as a mobile hotspot. Any other services will. I have at&t service and I can use it with my phone

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

For this model, you need to have a WiFi connection or purchase a Sim Card for 3G service. Otherwise, you can not use GPS; it will not function.

Absolutely, assuming that the device is in a T-Mobile coverage area. You can even make the tablet into a WiFi "hotspot" (again assuming that the device is in a T-Mobile coverage area ) that feeds WiFi to a Laptop or I-Pod. But you only get 200 meg monthly free, but you can buy more on individual as-needed purchases.

I assume you mean a cellular phone SIM card? If so then no, the tablet has no cell phone capabilities.

This will only work with the HTC flyer. I have tried it on a Samsung galaxy S2-3-4. as well as other models. it will only work with the flyer.

You can use it as a prepaid device with Page Plus Cellular for sure... http://www.getsmartphones.info/prepaid/refill/PagePlusCellular.htm

I am fairly certain that the 3G/mobile data version has the same dimensions as the WiFi only. As I own the WiFi only version, I can not know to a certainty. Just to be safe, I would try to compare the dimensions of the two tablets to make sure. Hope that helps!
