How to Turn a Tablet into a Phone for Calls

In short

You can turn any iPad, Android, or Windows tablet into a working phone by using Intercalling in your browser, with no app to download and no SIM card. Outbound calls to mobiles and landlines need no phone number and are billed per minute, and you can add a US or Canada digital number for roughly $2.14 to $5 per month if you also want to receive calls on the tablet.

Make Your Tablet Place Real Phone Calls

Most tablets cannot place regular phone calls because they ship without a cellular voice plan, even the ones with a SIM slot. Intercalling solves this by routing calls through the browser over WiFi or mobile data, so the tablet reaches real mobile and landline numbers on the public phone network.

Open Chrome, Safari, Edge, or Firefox on the tablet, sign in, allow microphone access, type the number, and call. There is no app to install and nothing to configure. Outbound calling does not require buying a phone number, and you pay per minute as you go, so a tablet with no plan becomes a usable phone in under a minute.

Receiving Calls and Caller ID on a Tablet

Outbound only setups work with zero monthly cost, but if you want people to call your tablet you add a digital US or Canada number for about $2.14 to $5 per month. That number rings inside the browser and also shows as your caller ID on outbound calls, which gives the tablet a real, professional phone identity.

This makes a tablet practical as a second line, a work phone, or a travel phone. Calls are end to end encrypted, which suits private conversations and business use, and the per minute model keeps international calling far cheaper than most roaming or carrier rates.
