How do you make phone calls from your tablets

[Snn5 · Accepted solution]

Tablets themselves cannot place calls like a phone does.  There is a number assigned to the tablet, but it isn't like a phone number.  You can still use apps like Hangouts, Facebook, and Google Voice to make calls over data/wifi, but you cannot use the tablet like a traditional phone.

And, more recently, Verizon Messages app allows phone calls. See https://www.verizonwireless.com/articles/how-to-use-your-tablet-as-a-phone/ for many details.
