In our earlier IBTimes UK report, we brought you the procedure for making Google Voice calls on your Nexus 7 tablet. Although, the tablet would never be a smartphone replacement for making calls, it still serves as a value feature with voice call functionality added to your tablet. Now, the same feat has been achieved on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1.

While several methods are feasible for activating voice call functionality, each one uses a different ROM. The latest method released by XDA senior member almaqdad is based on CyanogenMod derivatives - CM9 and CM10 - that are compatible with the newest stock ICS ROM. However, the only hitch is that sometimes you need to drop down to 2G to make calls to work properly.
