What tablet? Most tablets are wifi only and don't support mobile data

Do you have T-Mobile? Their Digits app does the across all devices tasks I.e texting, calls, notifications, etc.

Also, you can use Google Messages and enable the Messages for Web feature.

Or ...

Port your number to Google Voice (for a one-time $20 fee). You'll need a new number for your phone, but your carrier will do that for you if you first explain what you want to do, so they don't cancel your account as the number gets transferred.)

Then you can forward GV to your phone's new number - calls and texts. You can also use Hangouts dialer on any device to also get the texts. (And use an Obihai modem to get the calls on a landline through your home internet connection.)

(And if you ever change carriers, there's no need to worry about porting. Take any number they give you, and change GV to forward to that number.)

We really miss out a lot on stuff like this in the UK

And there's nothing outside the US that can do it. (Not that that's a good reason to be living in the US right now, but that's for a different forum.)

 

[me just saying]

one way is to give your friends a google voice number. it is free. then just forward all calls to your regular number. that is what I do and all messages go to my tablet and my phone.
