In this article, we will guide you on how to enable voice calling on the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1. To enable it, you need to ensure you are running the 3G variant of it which has model number P7500. The easiest way to confirm this is by checking if it has SIM card slot – if it has, then you can enable voice calling on it.
Requirements for enabling voice calling on Tab 10.1
– Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 3G [GT-P7500].
– You must have a custom recovery like TWRP for Tab 10.1 onboard.
– Any ROM based on Stock ICS 4.0.4 or the official stock ICS for tab 10.1. It might work on other ROMs too but I have tested it only on P7500 running stock android 4.0.4.
The procedure
1- Reboot to Recovery Mode. Do this by pressing and holding down volume up key and power button together until your tablet reboot to recovery.
2- Make a Full Backup. [optional]
3- Install File CWM_I9103XXLQ3_Modem.zip – download this zip file from here.
4- Install File Voice Call Enable [Stock] ICS 4.0.4 ROM Build 1.zip
5- Wipe Cache & Dalvik Cache.
6- Reboot the tab 10.1 and start making voice calls.
TWRP is a custom recovery for the Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 tablet. There are two variants of the this recovery as there are two versions of the tab – the P7500 (3G only) and P7510 (Wifi only version).
By installing recovery, you will be able to flash all sorts of hack on to the tablet, including ability to root your Tab 10.1 tablet and install custom firmware. Since Samsung has not churned any ROM after the official ICS for Galaxy Tab 10.1, it makes perfect sense to install TWRP recovery on the P7500 / P7510 and get the latest version of android unofficially.

Many users have been searching for the stock ROM for the Galaxy Tab 2 10.1 as they want to return back to a fully working firmware or for warranty reasons (your warranty gets voided if you flash a custom ROM or root your Samsung Tab).
In case you are running a custom ROM, you must flash this stock firmware to make the UMS flash storage utility work on the Tab 10.1 (as that utility does not works on many custom firmwares).
Samsung does not offers USB flash drive on the Galaxy S3, atleast natively and the company gave the Galaxy Tab 10.1 same treatment. Fortunately, the Galaxy S3 UMS mode has been adapted to work with the tab 10.1. The utility is straight forward – it allows the user to mount the external SD card as USB flash storage device.
