The phone number for the tablet is just an identification for the VZW network.  That number doesn't allow for you to make or receive phone calls or even text messages with it.  You've been forwarding everything from your Note 2 to an abyss.  My advice is to find someone with a used phone that can take your sim card from the Note 2 and then activate it on Verizon's network.

Are you sending the calls to your Google Voice number or something else?

I'm most definitely NOT a VZW employee. If a post answered your question, please mark it as the answer.

I used the number the kid gave me with the tablet as the forwarding number

You can try Line2 by Toktumi, Inc. Its free for 7 days and then its 9.95 a month.  Its the only app I've seen so far that I could ethically recommend.

I would suggest the app by MagicJack.

I believe they have an app for iPads, too.Smiley Happy
