How to use your tablet during a call
When a call comes in, if your tablet is closer than your phone, just answer the call on the tablet. It's very easy to take calls with a tablet instead of a phone. When you see an incoming call on your tablet, simply swipe the green Answer icon to answer the call. You can also reject a call by swiping on the red Hang up icon, or to send a message to the caller or call back by swiping up from the bottom of the screen.
If you would rather talk on your phone, tapPull callon the phone itself. This will end the call on the tablet and open it up on the phone.
