Can I disable call and text messaging features?

[cea199572]

Recently got aTab S6. Like it for the most part. Every few minutes the phone feature pops up wanting me to set up call and text features. I don't want to do this. How do I disable this, so I'm not interrupted every few minutes?

I have the Samsung Tab S6 LTE version and I don't have that feature on my tablet.

Turn it off in your settings. Search for call & text.

Thanks! For the benefit of the OP, where in the menu tree is that? Is it in the system settings or one of the app's settings?

I had hoped that turning it off in the settings would work, but it didn't. I still get the following window popping up. Any help is appreciated.

Use Toast Source to determine which specific app is giving you that notification, then see if you can turn off that particular notification in the Settings>Apps menu, or possibly Disable that app altogether.

What Samsung Galaxy Tab s6 are on? I have the Samsung Tab s6 LTE version and I don't have that Call and Text feature. But I do have it on my Samsung Galaxy S20 ultra.

Which version of the LTE tablet do you have? Some carriers remove features like this, I believe Verizon blocks this because they'd rather you use their app.

This is the model SM-T860. It is not on any carrier. Wi-Fi only.

Toast source isn't showing anything when it pops up.

When it says go to settings , where does it take you ?

It takes me into the settings, to set up the call and text. There is a toggle there to turn it on or off. Regardless of if it is toggled on or off, the same window pops up every few minutes. I tried to pair it with my phone, thinninyg that may solve things, but my phone is not compatible with it.

When that pops up look in setting>notification and see what was last thing to give notification it's by time there and toggle off its notification

Go to Settings>Apps, then tap Menu>Show System, and see if you can find an app called Call & Text or something to that effect.

Know it's blocked on Verizon and I believe Sprint as well, but not sure.

I found the Call & text app uber the Show System settings. I was able to force stop it, but it still pops up. The option to disable is greyed out. It is still popping up when watching videos. I also looked under notifications when it popped up and there was nothing showing as far as an app that activated the pop up. In beginning to think there it's nothing that can be done and I'll just have to live with it. Really becomes a drawback for this tablet.

If you found under system setting call and text disable notification there
