Question

Phone Calling Help

Jul 16, 2017 3:14PM PDT

I am currently trying to get in touch with someone. I asked a friend for the phone number, but when I texted the person, it wasn't the right person. My friend did say that it was for her tablet, but I don't know if that would make a difference. I currently have an LG Envoy III.

So I guess the main question is: Can I text from my phone to a tablet that has a phone number? Or does it not make any difference and I just have the wrong phone number?

Unless they are on some "app" like Whatsapp or other which then you need to be on the same app.
