Generic tag for questions regarding mobile network telephone calls using your Android device. Please check first if a more specific tag exists for your issue (e.g. 'voip' or 'callerid'; the full tag wiki lists more examples).
Telephone calls may no longer be the primary function of many smartphones, but it is still an important function. This tag is for questions dealing with phone calls on your carrier's mobile network.
For other types of calls, voip or sip might be more appropriate.
