Q: Can this be used as a cell phone

A: yes just download the magic Jack app on Google Play

Q: does this tab support a/c wifi , dual band wifi.....thx

A: Found this out the hard way. Had a Tab 4 7.0 that supported a/b/g/n 2.4/5ghz band. Assumed the Tab A 7.0 would also. Wrong. Go to check out my wifi settings and see my 5Ghz wifi isn't showing up. A little more spec research and I learn the Tab A only supports b/g/n and 2.4Ghz band only. Very disappointing. I have an AC1900 Asus router. My old Tab 4 7.0 will get full wifi speeds on the 2.4ghz band..about 59mbps. Same test multiple times on the Tab A 7.0 I was maxing out only around 18-20mbps. I was wondering why the Tab A was downloading so much slower than the Tab 4 when i was doing a side by side test. Annoying.

Q: Being computer stupid, having a dumb cell phone and only have a Kindle, does this do all the tricks a smart phone can do. I don't want it in any way to be a phone--I never answer anyway. Can I transfer 300+ books I have on my Kindle?

A: No you cannot. This tablet has very little memory and can only hold about a dozen or so books. It is sold as having 8G of memory but after all the pre-installed applications you are left with barely 3

Q: I HAVE ONE, DOES IT HAVE A MEMORY STICK AND IF SO WERE DOES IT GO ....

A: The Samsung Tab 7A does not come with a microUSB card. You must buy a card if you want additional storage. The card plugs into a slot in the side of the Tab 7A, which is hidden by a rubber cover.

Q: One night my pad was doing alot of flickering. Now it has frozen and can't even turn it off. What happened?

A: Mine did the same after only 2 years. Found out it needs a new battery. Geek Squad estimated the cost at $135 to replace the battery.

Q: Is the Samsung - Galaxy Tab A (2016) - 7" - 8GB on the NO fly list?

A: No, it is not on the "No Fly" list as this was the first thing I checked before buying it.

Q: This this tablet have Google Chrome and can I print wireless from it

A: The tablet comes preinstalled with Google Chrome and as long as you have a printer capable of mobile printing, you will be able to print.
