[Q] Verizon Galaxy Tab - Phone Calls

---

Has anyone started working on the Verizon Galaxy tab?

I know they were able to make the T-Mobile version make phone calls last night.

Well it is totally possible, I saw the Activation dial to *228 upon first turning it on. Even displayed the Phone icon in the top status bar during this process.

I guess it all would depend on getting the correct Phone.apk and supporting files. And then of course getting someone at Verizon to activate this as a "Smartphone" vs. a "Tablet" so that you can' actually make/receive calls.

T-Mo tablet was able to make calls by replacing files from the EU version and using a SIM from a active phone, but I don't think we are going to find anther CDMA version anywhere else except VZW and Sprint that supports voice like the EU versions.

Hi! I'm from Mexico and I bougth a Verizon Galaxy tab without knowing I wouldn't have phone calls, I feel like a moron I was able to activate it as a smartphone in my contry so I'm looking forward for a working firmware.

All the stuff for the phone is there, someone just has to make it work. I see the phone apk here on my Sprint tab, they are just blocking it somehow.

I bought a US Cellular galaxy tab of craigslist( even tho I'm die hard Verizon...) for $250, clean esn and everything but would be very interested because if someone can make it work on the Verizon tab I can for sure make it work on mine

my is from verizon... actually i am here in mexico and when it goes to activate it dials to iusacell (cdma carrier here in mexico)...

we just need some one to "unlock it"...

Sorry, I was mistaken. My galaxy tab is from Sprint not Verizon. Anyway from what I know both use CDMA network so Verizon tab should work in Iusacell without problem. To activate it I just called the iusacell help desk and provided my device ID. That's all, the activation was successfull but my tab still notify me that I'm using roaming.

I'm planning to visit iusacell directly. In the meanwhile I thing we can just wait for a jailbreak for CDMAs tabs.

I almost forgot....

If you go to iusacell web page. There's an activation chat button in the rigth top edge. Just click it and an iusacell employee will ask you for your tab ID (HEX number behind your tab). After some minutes your tab will be activated in Mexico. If you have success could you provide your experience? I'm still trying to register the device in Renaut without luck.

Well, I gave mi tab to some guy that work in iusacell, and is fully working in prepaid even with free internet at 1x (not sure is legal). He need it one full week to configure.

Not roaming, is in renaul (the guy from iusacell registered).

If you want the contact let me know.

Lets hope some one bring phone calls to this baby.
