Can my son use his Tab 2 as a phone?

Thinking about upgrading my son to a smartphone and he suggested using his TAB2 as a phone. I heard when he bought it you could activate the Tab2 somehow and use it as a phone. Of course he would have to use a Blue tooth headset but that's no biggy. If this is true how do I get it to work with my carrier, AT&T. I have a sim card from his dumbphone, is there a way to install it in the Tab 2?

Hi skeeterca, there is no way to introduce a sim card to the tab 2. There are no programs that can turn it into a phone either. Unless someone out there has made one in the last couple months as I have asked the same question before. Looks like you will be buying a smart phone. On the other hand you could always buy him an Apple ipad. My son uses his as a phone.
