Discussion Can you use a SIM-card on an Android TV box?

Not a SD card, but your phone's actual SIM.

I don't think so...

Gee. That's a pity. But the reason I asked is because the Phone app is available on the Google Play Store. Although I reckon certain apps won't work on TV boxes, even if they are available to install. It's likely because of the format. Unless there's a way to do it via Bluetooth.

wait wait, I've seen lots of android TV boxes, and I think some models have phone sims...

what model are you actually asking about anyway?

and which app on the play store are you talking about?

You can add a SD card adapter, but it cannot be used as a phone. However, you can use applications like Skype to make calls to their account.

I have one of those cheap Chinese makes. They're okay. Cannot remember the name of it. My broadband may be the issue, as when I try to watch HD content, it seems so incapable. Couldn't even watch a video of someone cycling at the Hudson River.
