Vzwuser76: Please read and comprehend messages before dashing-off responses. Where did I ever say that “Google intended for the Nexus 7 LTE to handle phone calls” – I actually said the opposite, that it should have been there in the first place, ie: they neglected to provide it. I later clarified that Google may have tacitly conspired with telcos to force consumers to have 2 paid SIM connections. And, I repeat: just because the phone model is LTE doesn’t mean it is limited to LTE for data or phone services. By-the-way, don’t assume that everyone lives in USA—where I live the HSPA closed down 3 years ago to allow the bandwidth to be used for 4G/LTE, which still co-exists with 3G.
You're complaining about me dashing off answers, and what you're saying is you assumed that it had voice capability, didn't do any research to see if it in fact had it, and are now mad about it and blame Google because you didn't check before buying. They didn't conspire with anyone to not have voice on it, most non LTE tablets don't have this capability, and only one LTE tablet I've found does. In my research the only one I could find is the Galaxy Note 10.1LTE, and that only supports VoLTE in Korea. That's the only VoLTE tablet I could find, and that came out in 2012. So apparently the demand isn't that big for that feature.
My point is, you're blaming Google for not including it, why aren't you as mad at every other manufacturer who also makes an LTE tablet that doesn't support VoLTE. My advice to you would be if you really need that feature, sell your Nexus 7 LTE and pick up a Galaxy Note 10.1 LTE model. That's assuming you live in Korea which is apparently the only VoLTE bands it support. But from the research I've done, that appears to be your only option.
And I was giving you the benefit of the doubt when I said you thought they intended to have VoLTE on the Nexus 7. If you knew it didn't have that feature, why buy it and then complain about it not having that feature?
