Meh, in my fairly extensive experience with end users, they don’t care about that, they have phones. Different use-case.
But I recognise that we’re here amongst many fussy edge-case users. Still the best tablet by majority acclaim even if you can’t use it as a phone.
I must have a weird sample then. My uncle specifically wants that because he doesn't want to have a separate phone. So he has a Galaxy Tablet. And a colleague at work recently inquired how she would log in to the phone company website to charge the prepaid plan if she can't get the login SMS.
Yep, most people seem to have cellphones, and if you wanted to use a tablet as a phone I would suggest an android tablet (or a cheap used smartphone, TBH).
