    Hi Mack,

    I got Huawei media pad from Dialog with 50% discount.I guess is really worth as it a nice tab.My intention is to have voice calls (of course Skype video) with this tab.Currently it doesn’t have voice.So if I installed above software and upgraded the firmware will it do the job for me?

    This is the tab I am talking about

      Congratz! Good choice :) To use Skype on your MediaPad, you only have to install Skype from the PLAY Store, and you are ready to go.

      Yes, you need to install the PhoneDialer if you want to make normal calls from your SIM. First just try downloading and installing the app. It might work with your current firmware version.

    Hi Mack,

    Thanks for your reply.Say If I have instated the dialer and I only can make calls in 3G area or under any normal GSM frequency? What are the disadvantages of this

    1. mack005 says:

      There’s no disadvantages of installing this app. You can make/receive calls even under normal GSM frequencies as well.
