Voice on Galaxy Tab
 

I have a Sprint tab and got voice calling working on it. NetTalk is the name of the app and its in the market and best of all, its free. you have to sign up for it which i did over my phone. the quality is ok but i havent really made any calls longer than to see if it works. it shows up on caller ID as unknown or private id. i havent messed with it enough to figure out how to make a call to my tab. it has all my contacts in it just like it would on an android phone. the program is in beta from what ive read so i dont know when/if they will start charging for it.

I'm in the same boat as you're in....let me know if you find out of any changes. Good Luck.

So what will Sprint do if they know you're making calls from the tab? Will they charge us for it some how, or can they even tell you're doing it? Just something I've been wondering about reading various threads regarding making calls on these tabs.

Re: Voice on Galaxy Tab
 

My Sprint Tab has a phone number assigned to it, Could Nettalk use that number?

To make these calls your are using data. Data is already paid for and is completely seperate from voice minutes. So to answer your question: no, sprint cannot charge you for any calls you make on the tab.

The number is generated just as a DSL line would be. It cannot send or recieve calls through this number though.

I know you're joking, but the truth is I'd use it as my main phone in a heartbeat if I could. I'm 99% of the time on a bluetooth headset anyway. I'm tempted to try the above, but I have no idea how much data usage that would be to stream voice.

It could be somewhere between 40-60 kbps but the latency is your enemy when its done over 3G.

This is something that has peaked my interests, using a tab as a "all-in-one" device. If you had a Google voice/talk account, couldn't you make/receive calls as long as your logged into your gmail account and get voice via a BT headset or speaker phone? Get unlimited text messages and make unlimited calls to cell and lan lines. Couldn't you also turn off the Sprint Data connection when at home and use WIFI to try to offset the 5GB data cap? If a lot of people start to use this, wouldn't we be able to push Sprint in the direction of offering an unlimited plan for the tabs?? I hate the idea of holding a 5x7 picture frame to my head as a phone but using cell companies as just a data connection and getting free everything sounds like a good path to go down!:headbang:

Has anyony tried this on a Verizon Tab?

Tried this today on my Tab and it works. I called my cell phone and my wifes phone using this program and it works pretty well.

Re: Voice on Galaxy Tab
 

did you make the call over the verizon data service or did you use the wifi connection to make the call?

Re: Voice on Galaxy Tab
 

basically the tablet plan is a no minute plan . its kind of funny how it looks in the system though. But heck we got VOIP to use if we wanna use it as a phone!

Re: Voice on Galaxy Tab
 

I was using it over wifi but will try it over the data services again soon.

Sprint and/or samsung should put voice in these things.....not so i can hold it up to my face and look like a chode, but so i can use BT and look like a semi-chode.....but id still use it.....im just not to fond of either paying $299 and a two year commitment for some seriously crappy 3g data, or paying $600 for an oversized galaxy S.....id pay 200 for the device if it had voice and data......otherwise it just seems silly to me to add another line to my account for nothing basically....at home i can tether for free, or i can use my cable to wifi my evo.....idk tabs just do not make alot of sense to me just yet.....they need more functionallity to sell me....they are just an oversized evo, or galaxy s crippled......im sticking with my 13" HP with 8g of ram fo now......
