Tablet as phone

[AlexFl]

Hi all

Note 4 cell stolen over weekend. No backup handset. Used for calls, correspondence, syncing 3 profiles (highly secured/regulated work 'VPN' on Exchange, GMail & Outlook), GPS and streaming media. Unhappy with Dell 8" WiFi only Win10 tablet.

Was wondering if anybody here uses a 10"+ tablet as their only telephone? Is it even possible? Maybe with Bluetooth earpiece... Apart from the portability hassle, it seems a good all round compromise to carrying 2 separate devices?

Work (syncing) doesn't do well with Android. Windows on a potable device hasn't provided me a 'happy place'. Seems my colleagues with Apples aren't struggling so I may be inclined toward my first iOS device if their tablets would allow for the above?

Your thoughts on tablet as phone please? Am worried that I'm not thinking of something as I'd think that this would be a more common sight than it is...

Thanks
Alex

Not with apple, unless you want to lug an iphone around.

Apple Ipad's can't make calls,some android ones can but I think you'd find it inconvenient as far as ergonomics go anyway.

I have a 4G tablet which unfortunately can't make calls, however through whatsapp I can but as you can imagine that's not very handy.
