I edited out the IMEI and the MDN from your screenshots -- you definitely don't want to make your IMEI public, since that can potentially set you up for your number being hijacked by a malicious agent, and it's also not advisable to share your own personal phone number on a public forum.

Tablets almost never have actual telephony (i.e., the ability to make a phone call). A tablet that has LTE capability is typically just for Internet data usage.

Thank you so much, I thot about that but wasn't sure how much was too much. I just posted again under android 13 questions n answers but the screen shot didnt show all that. Thanks for lookin out tho fr.
So ur saying even tho everything says I'm connected, network being T-Mobile, Mobile voice & Mobile data both LTE....chances are I still won't have phone service? Is it bc it's paid by Excess Telecom? I'm jst tryna get a # to work properly so. certain calls come thru.

I closed your other thread and redirected with a link to this one, and also deleted those screenshots in the other thread for your own privacy.

It's most likely an issue with the tablet, not your service. As I mentioned before, tablets almost never have telephony capability, especially in the US. It's also possible that the SIM card itself is for data only, but I still think that it wouldn't work even with a SIM card that has a voice plan.
