Root Weird question about replacing Android OS on phone

My mom has a G2X and she no longer uses it- she has since gone with another phone company. We were playing around with the phone and realized it still makes a decent little "mini tablet". Thing is, it would do a little better if it didn't think it was a phone, but just a wi-fi tablet so it would never give off "no service" errors, etc, and only look for wi-fi. Is there any iteration of the android OS that I could install on her rooted phone so that it just appears to be a tablet, and not a phone? Weird question, I know, but thought I would ask, Would be fun to try if anyone has a suggestion, since no one is dependent upon it being a phone.
