   When you're away from Wi-Fi, is the tablet sending dialer phone calls on   
   the carrier's cellular frequencies or on the carrier's data channels?

   Is the SIM card for the Android when it works with the native dialer using   
   the carrier's "data only" SIM (that normally only goes into a tablet) or is   
   the table using the carrier's regular SIM (that normally goes in a phone)?
