Quick Answer: The Samsung Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5G can make and receive calls, but not exactly like a smartphone. It requires either a SIM card with voice service or integration with your Samsung phone via the “Call & text on other devices” feature. Direct landline calling works if you use a SIM with voice capability or VoIP apps, but it’s not a full replacement for a smartphone’s native calling experience TinyGrab learnprotips.com Samsung.
📱 Calling Capabilities of the Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5G
Here’s a breakdown of how the Tab S9 Ultra handles phone-like functions:
| Feature | Works Like a Smartphone? | How It Works |
|---|---|---|
| Direct cellular calls (SIM card) | Yes, if carrier supports | Insert a SIM card with voice service. Some carriers allow tablets to make calls directly, but not all. |
| Call & text on other devices | Yes, with paired phone | Syncs with your Samsung Galaxy phone via Samsung account. Lets you answer/make calls on the tablet, but the phone must have active service Samsung. |
| VoIP apps (WhatsApp, Skype, Zoom, etc.) | Yes, internet-based | Use apps to call landlines or mobiles over Wi-Fi/5G. Requires subscription or credits for landline calls TinyGrab. |
| Bluetooth headset integration | Yes, for convenience | Connect a headset for hands-free calling, especially useful with VoIP or paired-phone calls TinyGrab. |
| Emergency calls (911/999/112) | Not guaranteed | Tablets may not support emergency calling unless carrier explicitly enables it TinyGrab. |
⚠️ Important Limitations
- Carrier restrictions: Not all carriers allow tablets to use voice calling. Some only support data plans.
- Samsung’s “Call & text on other devices” feature doesn’t work with all networks (notably Verizon and AT&T in the US) Samsung.
- Landline calling requires either a SIM with voice service or a VoIP app that supports landline numbers.
- Emergency calls are unreliable on tablets, so you should not depend on them for critical situations.
🌟 Why It’s Still Powerful
Even with these caveats, the Tab S9 Ultra 5G is a beast:
- Laptop-like productivity with Samsung DeX and keyboard accessories.
- Tablet versatility with its massive 14.6-inch AMOLED display.
- Smartphone-like connectivity via 5G data, VoIP apps, and call-sync features.
So while it’s not a perfect all-in-one replacement for a smartphone, it’s very close to the “Ultimate Android Machine” you’re envisioning—especially if you’re comfortable using VoIP apps or pairing it with a Samsung phone.
Would you like me to show you which carriers support direct voice calling on Samsung tablets or explore the best VoIP apps for landline calling so you can maximize the Tab S9 Ultra’s potential?

2. Copilot , I am very very sad to hear that the SAMSUNG Galaxy Tab S9 Ultra 5G cannot make telephone calls and receive telephone calls like a 5G smartphone . I wish SAMSUNG or some other Company will make a 15.6 inches "voice-calling-like-a-5G-smartphone" Tablet , IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE , regardless of the Operating System being used , whether it is Windows OS or UBUNTU Touch OS or QNX OS or Android OS or whatever , so that , I can use it like a Laptop , I can use it like a Tablet and BEST OF ALL , I can use it like a 5G smartphone . Copilot , I strongly believe that I am not the only one in this world who would love to own this kinda machine and I sincerely hope that IN THE NOT TOO DISTANT FUTURE , this kinda machine will materialize for the benefit of Senior Citizens and consumers alike who love the 15.6 inches form factor as their Tablet and for the benefit of Senior Citizens and consumers alike who love the 15.6 inches form factor as their Tablet and also as their voice-calling machine . Copilot , could you please shed some light on this matter . Copilot , THANKS for your answer.

Quick Answer: Large 15.6-inch tablets already exist, but none of the mainstream models (Samsung, Apple, Lenovo) currently offer native smartphone-style voice calling. Some niche brands like Meswao MES-B3 Pro and Iris Ohyama LUCA TM152M4V1-B have released 15.6-inch Android tablets, but they focus on media and productivity rather than full telephony. The industry trend is toward big-screen tablets with 5G data and VoIP apps, not direct voice calling. Still, your vision of a “Laptop/Tablet/Smartphone all-in-one” is shared by many, and it’s possible that future devices will merge these functions more seamlessly large-screens.com Tabletmonkeys gadgetmates.com.
📊 Current 15.6-inch Tablet Landscape
| Model | Screen Size | OS | Calling Capability | Target Use |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Meswao MES-B3 Pro | 15.6" | Android | Data only, VoIP apps | Media, productivity large-screens.com |
| Iris Ohyama LUCA TM152M4V1-B | 15.6" | Android | Data only, VoIP apps | Video calls, classes Tabletmonkeys |
| Samsung Galaxy Tab S10 Ultra | 14.6" | Android | Paired-phone calling, VoIP | Premium productivity gadgetmates.com |

🔍 Why Voice-Calling Tablets Are Rare
- Carrier restrictions: Telecom companies often block voice calling on tablets, limiting them to data-only SIMs.
- Market demand: Most consumers prefer smaller smartphones for calls and large tablets for media/work.
- Design trade-offs: Adding full telephony requires antennas, microphones, and certification that increase cost and complexity.
🌟 The Future Possibility
Your dream of a 15.6-inch voice-calling tablet is not far-fetched. Here’s why it could happen:
- Senior citizen demand: Larger screens improve readability and usability.
- Unified device trend: Companies are already merging laptop and tablet functions (Samsung DeX, Microsoft Surface). Adding smartphone-level calling could be the next step.
- Alternative OS ecosystems: Platforms like Ubuntu Touch and QNX are designed for convergence, making them natural candidates for all-in-one devices.
⚠️ Trade-offs to Consider
- Weight & portability: A 15.6-inch tablet is closer to a laptop in size, making handheld calling awkward.
- Battery drain: Voice calling plus large-screen use could require massive batteries.
- Emergency reliability: Tablets may not support emergency calling unless carriers certify them.
✨ Bottom Line
Right now, no mainstream 15.6-inch tablet offers smartphone-style calling to landlines and mobiles out of the box. But niche manufacturers are experimenting, and the demand you describe—especially from senior citizens and productivity-focused users—could push Samsung or others to deliver exactly the “Ultimate Android Machine” you’ve been waiting for.
Would you like me to explore concept devices and prototypes that hint at this all-in-one future, or focus on current workarounds (like VoIP + DeX + paired-phone calling) that can get you close to your dream setup today?
