Go to Settings
Select About Device
Press Update Device
Make sure that your deviceis plugged into power to ensure continuos power supply.
However there is no possibility of making GSM or 3G video calls. Its a tablet. Not a phone. You could try using skype, or any of the other apps that provide voice/video chat over the internet.

You have to upgrade to 3.2.1 or 3.2 both are the same but to order to access the phone cabalities you have to use android software upgrade supported by google not to make the upgrade through OTA from device, as when make upgrade through the tablet the upgrade can not change access cabilties which means that samsung is locked this feature is system root files, so when you make it only the new changes take effect but you did not change root cababities
You must do the upgrade using you PC and following the following steps
Install upgrade tools (prefered to use linux system)
Install open source software upgrade version from google official site
Then connect you tablet
Shut down your tablet
Connect the usb cable
Open software upgrade tools
Press power button for a while and do not realse until a meesage appears on your pc with software version type
Press an icon upgrade at your software pc
Then upload system root files
Take care to make backup from system root files
Press upgrade to all androind cablities
Then wait around 45 minutes depending upon your internet speed
Please make sure that you battery are fully charged at lease 90% otherwise your device will be lost.
Make sure that you do this steps well otherwise i advice not take a risk to make the following upgrade
All the previous steps are available for honey comb 3.2 and ice cream sandwitch 4.0, 4.1

Tab8.9 can make calls but you must do one of the following steps
1)upgrade the honeycomb to ver 3.2
2) upgrade to ice cream sandwitch
When i bought the 8.9 tap it doesn't make calls but after upgrading to ver 3.2 i am able to phone calls
as a dialler pad will appear at desktop beside you will the tone of dialling when connected the headset
If any one wish to have any information about this you can post and i will be glad to help you
Samsung blocked the features of dialing at honey comb 3.1 so as to get in competency with IPAD2
