Advice please on a dialer app to use with a 907A, no longer carrier-locked to AT&T

Hi,
I live in Europe, have just bought a used 907A from the US. I've carrier-network-unlocked it and put in a European SIM.
The system recognises the new SIM and happily uses it to download data eg off the internet.

I also have a Tab S 10.5" which similarly takes a SIM, and downloads data PLUS it uses a Samsung dialer app with the SIM to make & receive cell phone calls & text messages.

So I've tried to find an app which will do the same on my 907A, but so far none connect calls.
Any dialer/contacts/text messaging app recommendations, please?
(I know from other threads I could use VOIP instead as a work-around, I'd prefer a cell solution if there is one)

I know that AT&T did not include (or blocked) calling/messaging in the code in the AT&T shell, but had hoped to add/get round this.
(A used "international" version p907 had proved impossible to find)

Many thanks
Merry Xmas
David

Hi David,

I'd not found a satisfactory dialer, but have had pretty good success with Google's Hangouts doing both phone calls and video chat. In fact,I plan doing a conference call tomorrow with my Sister's family in Spokane, and my family here where I live. This will involve my Note Pro, my Sister's desktop, my Nephew's Note Pro, my Niece's iPad Pro, and my Daughter's Mac. we're celebrating two Birthdays tomorrow. I guess this is the new face of family in our age. Pretty cool, Huh?

By the way, we're experiencing a pretty fair snow storm here in Salt Lake City. What's the weather like in your area of the UK?
