Stream-8 Tablet - Want to connect to Internet and make Cellular Calls

[Aaladin]

I have a HP Stream 8 Tablet.

Appreciate if you can guide on below 2 queries - 

1. Can I connect to Internet by Inserting a SIM Card ?

2. Can I make/receive phone calls once the SIM card is inserted. Where is the option to dial someone's number Or accept/reject a call?

Hi,

What is your Stream 8 tablet, there are MANY models/products around ? Does it have WWAN card ? Without those information I can't say any thing.

The following tablet HP Stream 8 5901 does have WWAN card.

It has WWAN card: 4G HSPA+ with T-Mobile .  Looks like it is locked to T-Mobile. The answer is yes, you can use T-Mobile SIM card to make calls and if your T-Mobie SIM card had data you would be able to use it to connect to internet.

Note: It only work with T-Mobile SIM card, you have to unlock to use SIM card from different providers. Please ask them.

Regards.
