"Of course not, it's a tablet!" But i was doing some web browsing, and came across this:
http://gadgets.ndtv.com/tablets/news/samsung-unveils-galaxy-tab-3-with-android-41-voice-calling-360425
and this:
http://pando.com/2013/04/29/samsungs-galaxy-tab-3-a-tablet-that-can-make-phone-calls-whether-you-like-it-or-not/
But there is no dialer, though. I have been trying to see if I can find a dialer apk that I can install to see if I can make voice calls after inserting a SIM card that has a full voice and data plan. (My current SIM is data-only) I don't know what apk to use, though. I looked though the /system/app directory on my Galaxy Victory, and I see files like ''SecTelephonyProvider.apk' and 'SecPhone.apk', but nothing like 'dialer.apk' (that would be too simple).
The new KitKat dialer is available for phones with KitKat ROMs:
http://getandroidstuff.com/download-install-new-kitkat-google-dialerphone-apk/
But, of course, I am still using 4.2.2. Maybe when the official KitKat update finally becomes available for the SM-T217A, I could install this, install a voice/data SIM card, and see if I can make calls. Or would it be that simple? I have a feeling I might need to edit build.prop somewhere to enable the dialer, but I have no experience with this.
Anyway, if anyone has some thoughts on this, I'd appreciate it.
