Hi,
maybe this has been asked, but I couldn't find it anywhere. In a 3G Galaxy Note 2, can I use my phone's SIM to use instant messaging apps (like whatsapp or line) when I'm at home, and then put the SIM back in my phone and continue using them in my phone?
And this is more general, but, does every 3G tablet have a SIM card slot?
Thanks in advance.

Hi everybody,
I'm about to buy my SS Tab, however I have a few questions:
- If I buy the 3G one, can I get the Sim Card from my mobile, put on the Tablet and use internet and make calls normally?
Because my idea is to use the Tablet more during travels, and then instead of have two contracts (and 2 sim cards with my phone provider), I would have only one and use the same on both devices.
Also, about that, is there any recommendation against that?
Thanks,
Thiago
Hi,
yes, that is possible. You have by your mobile provider to take account that provides both services. For conversations you will need to freehand accessories because otherwise you will talk via speakerphone.
HI THERE
Actually i bought a Motorola XOOM 2 ,MZ616 , every thing is ok, Android 4 already down but my question is how to active the phone conversation , It has sim card but i wanted to use the sim for telephone conversation if possible . who can help me?
Thanks
You can't. The sim card is for 3G and GPRS data connections only. No SMS, MMS or dialing is possible.
I'm currently using two 3G enabled Sims in my Galaxy Core GT-i8262.
My Sole purpose of getting the Sim 2 was to use 3G Data/Internet on it, while using Sim 1 for Calling and texting only.
I went for Galaxy Core only because i have to use Voice and Data on 2 different Sims separately.
Therefore , i inserted the Sim 2, Went into Sim Manager > Enabled both Sim > Dual Sim Active
I also enabled "Receive incoming calls via Other Sim card while using Data service" in Both Sim 1 & Sim 2.
But when i selected this setting i received a popup "This might slow down the data transmission"
>Also i have Set Data as "Sim 2" in Sim 1, (So only Sim 2 will ne used for Data)
And Sim 1 as GSM Only while Sim 2 as WCDMA Only
But still, when i'm on a call in Sim 1, i can't use the 3G service of Sim 2 simultaneously. Only after disconnecting the call, Sim 2 3G Data starts working,
So the whole purpose of using Dual Sim goes wast when we can't use 3G internet on one sim while on call in the other.
Can anyone suggest how to enable this feature and also to avoid the "The slow data transmission" due to Dual Active Sim.. Otherwise this phone is just a piece of trash as i'll be on call most of the time and i won't be able to check my mail or Whatsapp msgs.
Please.. Anyone reply..
Ask this to samsung CEO he cannot answer that:sly:
Sent from my GT-I8262 using XDA Premium 4 mobile app
While u r on a call on Sim 1 you cannot use the data connection from the Sim 2 even if its on WCDMA. But u can use 3G on the same sim on which the call is being recieved or done ...means Sim 1 can be used for both purpose simultaneously for Calling & Data connection on WCDMA ...even if u r on a call on sim 1 the data connection wont be lost...
hi! i'm not shure if i understand
i want to purchase this phone and i'm not shure if i can use in one sim voice over 3G and in the other one data over 3g.
I don't want to use voice and data in the same time...
Please help me
nobody can help me?
Hi Luciand, are you from Brazil?
My guess is that it is impossible to use voice on SIM 1 and data on SIM 2 because the smartphone have only one modem.
Even if it is capable of receiving calls on both SIM 1 or SIM 2, it is not possible to actively use the two SIMs at the same time.
For some smartphone to be capable of doing what you want, it should have two modems, which I believe would increase its cost and nobody would buy it...
I hope this helps, and if anyone knows better, please correct me!

You are able to select which SIMs data service the phone uses in the sim card manager under Data service network. However, you cannot use voice and data at the same time, regardless of which sim is set to be used for voice or data (at least here in the US on EDGE network.)
My network service provider gave me a second data only sim card for my nexus 7 3g tablet. So I have 2 simcards but only one number...
Before I got the 2. data only sim everything was OK with the voice+data sim in my SGS3 Mini, but after I installed the 2. data only card in my tablet sms and video calls are "routed" to my tablet. I want to permanently install the tablet in my car so I need sms, video calls and notifications on my phone. I tried to google and read somewhere that the network would use the sim registered last or most recently as primary simcard, so I tried to turn off my phone for a few minutes, but this doesn't seem to solve my issue. I use cyanogenmod11 on both my tablet and phone, so is there anyway to configure calls, sms and video to my phone instead of the tablet?
I tried to search my service providers knowledge base but didn't find any info regarding my extra data only simcard so I guess this is a new option.
Hi there,
I got a European version of Lenovo Yoga tab 3 android tablet (YT3-X50L). The Y3-X50L version compared to YT3-X50M version, does not have a phone call app and it meant to be restricted for surfing only even though it has a sim card slot.
I have changed its firmware to YT3-X50M to be able to use it as a normal phone. Here is the problem:
the phone can send and receive sms through the cell network but using it to phone call, the calls get disconnected immediately after dialling and no phone call comes in either.
It seems to me that there should be a way to activate/unlock the phone ability. Any help is appreciated.

AMIRBEKAM,
I've got a similar YT3-850L, with SIM slot intended for DATA, not PHONE. I'd wondered what would happen if I flashed with the "M" ROM. You SEEM to have answered that question. BUT, may I ask you a few questions, please?
1) Is your tablet ROOTED?
2) If YES, was that before or after the "M" ROM was flashed, or both?
3) Is your SIM card ACCOUNT VOICE as well as DATA ENABLED with your CARRIER? (In the US, at least, DATA and VOICE/DATA SIM cards are NOT interchangeable. So, if that's the case with your carrier, that MIGHT be the problem, or part of it).
4) What approach did you use to flash the "M" ROM
5) Where did you GET the "M" ROM
I put my VOICE/DATA SIM card in my YT3-850L, and it didn't work for DATA. T-Mobile said it SHOULDN'T work with data on my tablet, as it requires a DATA ONLY SIM account for a DATA-ONLY tablet. They're shipping me a SIM card which they say will allow DATA ONLY on my "L" Yoga tablet. We'll see you THAT works.
THANKS!
I have got yoga tap 3 8 and I m not getting phone call neither I am able to call calls get disconnect as soon as I dialed the number
