A:Answer Hi Double, thanks for taking the time out of your hectic day to ask us your questions about the Samsung Galaxy Tab S6 Lite. Yes, Galaxy tablets are able to call and text. With the Call & text on other devices feature, you can make and receive calls on your tablet as long as it's signed into the same Samsung account as your phone. You can also send messages. However, the connected phone will need to have active service. Call & text on other devices currently does not work with Verizon and AT&T phones and may not be available on all models from other carriers. Check out the article titled, "Make calls and send messages from your Galaxy tablet" for more information on this topic. Feel free to contact Samsung Support if you would like any further assistance. Thank you for being a cherished Samsung customer. - Debra
