Android Central Question

The specs for my Lenovo M8 FHD tablet say "Micro-USB 2.0" and "MicroSD card tray".

If I buy a sim card, will I be able to make and receive phone calls. I know I can call on Skype and Google Hangouts without the sim card, but I would like the tablet to serve as a cellphone. That is I'd like to have a phone number that I can give to banks, etc.

I don't have Google Voice since you need another phone number to get a Google Voice account. I don't have a cellphone or landline, etc.

'Welcome to Android Central! No, that tablet doesn't have a SIM tray, and even if it did, SIM cards on tablets are only for mobile data, not cellphone calls. You could use a VoIP service for calls, but that wouldn't work for SMS since it's not an actual cellphone.
