   Yes, it's an easy mistake to make. Someone that doesn't understand the   
   difference between VoLTE and LTE might believe that any device that   
   supports LTE data supports VoLTE with a SIM or eSIM, but that is not   
   true. For a standalone hotspot device they probably realize that phone   
   calls are not possible, but with a tablet, that has a microphone and a   
   speaker, they may believe, as the original poster on Reddit believed,   
   that they should be able to stick in a SIM card, or get an eSIM, from a   
   prepaid carrier, and voice calls would work. Hopefully nospam now   
   understands how this all works.
