So I just turned my wifi-only tablet (A500) into a phone and it was easy! All you need to do is use a sip/voip client such as LinPhone or CSipSimple (the one I use) and sign-up with an internet phone provider that gives you actual phone numbers.
I signed-up with WhistlePhone:
https://www.whistlephone.com/
And I got a free phone number that gives me free 20min calls to any number in the US-- and it can receive calls as well!
There are other providers out there too. If you are in Canada you can use FreePhoneLine:
http://www.freephoneline.ca/
I'm sure there are equivalent services in other places in the world.
Anyway, suffice it to say, my tablet is now a phone and it makes it that much more awesome!
Good luck!

PS: you can also install LinPhone on your Linux box and there is probably a Windows equivalent...
