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.

It looks like you have to use a purchased Chromecast bought in UK , won't work with my import from US.

Yep uk chromecast only as said in op

Bloody hell it worked, cheers OP!
It looks at the serial number, bought one of eBay it seems it is also an import. From the articles I had read it referred at location and not hardware specific. Not bad deal either way.
This is 'per' chromecast deal I believe, as I;ve tried with my household users and it redeems the same code.
i picked one up today from PC World, but it won't redeem, very odd

8 (number) and B (letter) look very similar on the serial number, probably because someone felt nostalgic and used a 1980's-resolution printer to make it.
Can't remember offhand whether the Chromecast app reports the serial number. It's also etched on the Chromecast unit itself with higher resolution, but lower contrast. Google must think we're all eagle-eyed.
The actual method from the android app is as follows:
Open the chromecast app
Wait for the list of devices to populate.
Select the relevant device.
Wait for the "Connecting to XXXX" dialogue to finish.
When all the device info etc pops up, press the menu overflow button.
Select "Check for offers" and follow the instructions. (You must agree to send your serial number).
It should then allow you to open the play store and redeem the voucher immediately.
From a PC/laptop, you need to try http://www.chromecast.com/offers and follow the instructions.
In both cases you must be connected to the same Wifi network as the relevant chromecast and on a PC/laptop, you need to be using the Chrome browser and have the Google Cast extension installed.

That's a relief, though unfortunate that it refuses to redeem for you.

Woohoo, got mine.
Confirmed only worked on my UK one tho, not the US one. Which was expected.
Thanks for the headsup!
No offers
I get no offers found on my chromecast bought from Currys UK chromecast. Is there anyone we can get in touch with to talk about this?

This promotion only works with UK chromecasts. It checks its serial number, not its location.

Usually these new phones go to the FCC before any specs are publicly released. Has either of these two devices gone to the FCC yet?
I would check but wouldn't have any idea where to search for it.
I'm checking twitter often. Didn't get any update on those!

Does anyone have an idea as to the strength of the antennas? I have the Galaxy s7 edge and I am getting less bars and have a harder time holding onto a signal than I did with my Note 5. I hope the Note 7 has stronger antennas!
Sent from my SM-G935T using Tapatalk
It's the first phone with 4x4 mimo. I'm not sure if that has anything to strength our not. Just speed maybe? I plead ignorance, but hope it can add to the conversation.
Can't wait to get the hardware and see if there are enough receive antennas in there.
Mine is sitting next to my unrooted note 4 and the 4 has 4 full bar but note 7 is 3 bars. Both connected to my wifi 10 feet away.

Lol that's not a good sign.
Looking at the comparison (Note 7 vs S7) on tmobile website it looks like the note 7 has more bands than the s7. That would mean better signal?
