Galaxy Tab 750 LogoIf you have ever thought of making a Voice call or checking the account balance via USSD in your Samsung Galaxy Tab 10.1 device and couldn’t do that then it’s not your fault as Samsung had purposely kept this feature hidden even in its latest upgrade of ICS Android 4.0.4 firmware. In the due course of this article we will be guiding you with a detailed procedure after following which you can make Voice calls as well as check the account balance of the Sim Card which you have inserted in your Galaxy Tab. While people are only opting the latest Galaxy Tab 2 for the sake of calling benefit, 1st generation Galaxy Tab is lighter and thinner than the 2nd Generation Galaxy Tab.

The best part of this work around is that this can be applied on the array of Android firmwares like stock Android 4.0.4 Samsung ROM, the Android 4.1 Jelly Bean based CyanogenMod (CM10) ROM, the Ice Cream Sandwich based CM9 ROM, and AOKP ROM installed in your Galaxy Tab 10.1 device.
