Has anyone used their phone data plan with an LTE tablet?

Question

I've got a spare phone at home that I use when my relatives from out of country visit, and I was wondering if I can use that phone plan with a tablet? Verizon reps told me "no, because one is a phone, the other is a tablet". That makes absolutely no sense to me, since I happen to work with android devices, and there are much more significant differences between various android phone hardware than the difference in screen size that differentiates a phone from a tablet. So I thought I'd ask if anyone has successfully gotten Verizon to program an LTE sim for the tablet that uses their phone plan.

Thanks

Going to take a guess here. The tablet doesn't have a radio to make cellular calls.

I know iPads can be used with WiFi calling using a app. But not directly from the carrier.

My nexus tablet uses magic jack app and net talk app and I can call or receive. So the information may be correct from the tech support person.

Good Luck
