I've been using my Nexus 7 as a phone that only makes calls and texts. This way I don't receive any from it when I don't have a WiFi connection available. This also works really well because it saves the battery life of my Galaxy Nexus LTE.
Using TalkaTone and Google Voice this was very possible and very easy. You can also use GrooveIP, but I'm not using my $25 PS credit on that.
Since I'm always on WiFi w/ my N7 at home it's very convenient to be able to call on my tab. It is awesome texting from my N7!
I'm not going t go into great detail because if you're serious about this then head over to the GNex forum area and check out the massive thread on this subject.

I tried calling from Google voice but I can't hear anything.
I don't even see a dialer.
How do you turn on speakerphone
Google Voice texting is working well though.

you have to install the Google voice app, allow it access to your Google account. Once you open the voice affiliation due the first time you will be able to allow it access.
Then whenever you text/receive text you will see the notification...It's like chatting.
You have to have Google voice number previously for it to work.

+1 for groove IP pro, works great and I use text+ gold for sending and receiving texts. Might have to have a different number for each app but it works.

I depend on Google Voice + Groove IP + Verizon unlimited LTE on my smartphone. Glad to find out it's working fine so far on Nexus 7 WIFI tethered off of the smartphone.

Google Voice and GrooveIP
I agree. I've been using GV and GrooveIP on my galaxy player for several months. I'm glad to see that this combo works even better on the Nexus 7.
+1 for GrooveIP
You can use it as a speakerphone, but with a headset it's fantastic. (as long as you have a solid internet connection)
On my other tablets I had to tweak the settings to make it usable, but on the N7 I have had no issues whatsoever using the default settings.
Does anyone knows why I can't setup my cards in Google wallet in my tmobile gnote3? I can open the app....but the option is missing.
You can't use tap to pay on this phone I don't think

Well, Canada getting anything is quite groundbreaking! Thats what this is all about.
Theres no Radio on my google music... maybe I didnt get update?
Welcome to Canada!
I'm glad a post was made announcing Google Music's availability in Canada, perhaps a new thread dedicated to services actually available to Canadians should be started, for example Amazon app store is finally available to us Canadians (Free app of the Day):victory:
For those who don't care I understand, but many many services are delayed or blocked for us up here so having a resource or post letting us now about one finally getting loose up here is great!

LOL because Google doesnt like to offer Canada all the services... for US only..
Even google voice doesnt work in Canada.. you need to trick google into thinking your a US resident.. the number they give you is a US number also..

Did you get a App update (what is the version of Google Music you have?)?

This is how it happened. I accessed the Play Store, and went to Music. It was there that I found music for sale! I immediately bought the new pearl jam cd. I now believe that it was this purchase that brought about the changes to Google music on my phone.
I am running v5.2.1224L.847622
The only thing of note is that in my Google wallet settings, I have a visa for purchases. The address for it is in the U.S..

Some trickery must be invovled
I just tried to access Google music and I got this message
"The Google Play music player is currently available in select territories"
I wonder if it has something to do with the fact the user who got it working has a Credit card with an American address

The visa is a Canadian card, I just changed the address to a company in the U.S. that I use for shipping purposes.

It's not Google's fault, blame the CRTC & banks, for Google Voice & Wallet not being here.

Grand Central, the company Google purchased and transformed into Google Voice, offered Canadian numbers.
Plus there are several talk/text applications that offer Canadian numbers like Fongo.
Don't know, but I'll take your word for it. Perhaps it's size - smaller player's get away with it, while bigger companies play by the rules? I'm sure if they could Google would go for it - it's in their interest to do so.

Did you try Google Play Store? I got the Wallet app from there. But, I think you need a special NFC secure element (special SIM card) from AT&T to allow for usage. I can only get Isis to work via NFC.

Secure element allows ISIS to work AT&T locked out Wallets NFC features for the app they support, that being ISI

So you're saying that Wallet won't ever work as long as there is an AT&T SIM card in place?

i am able to open the app and see my transactions and everything. haven't used it in person though. but it seems like it works since i can open the app without any errors or anything.
Well it works up until the time you need to actually use the Touch to pay portion.

Im very tempted to go back to my Note 2 with all these issues lol I was able to use a modded wallet app fine with ATT on it.
I've done a fair amount of searching, and come up empty so I'm hoping you guys can help.
I purchased my Nexus 6 from Motorola. I currently use Straightalks gsm service, but would like to transfer to STs Verizon LTE for better service in my area. Every time I register my device, it says that it won't work.
Can I use a friends imei?
Is there any other work around?
Sent from my Nexus 6 using XDA Free mobile app
So here is what I did to solve this issue. I used an imei from a Verizon LTE device to activate the straight talk Verizon Sim, then did a factory reset of my nexus 6 with the Sim. Worked perfectly.
