With the Call & text on other devices feature, you can make and receive calls on your tablet as long as it's signed into the same Samsung account as your phone. You can also send messages. However, the connected phone will need to have active service.

Is the samsung galaxy tab a 8.0 mhl compatible?
ahmad
about 2 years ago
External power is still required for compatible earlier Samsung phones that do not use MHL 2.0. As of 2015, Samsung have stopped implementing MHL in their flagship Galaxy smartphones and tablets. The Galaxy S6, S6 edge, S6 edge plus, Note 5, A3, A5, A7 and A8 do not have MHL capabilities.
