On a Samsung Galaxy Tab, if you use third party maintenance apps, it will show up the green Phone app symbol in the results on a virus scan so it’s been pre-installed on these tablets, but you just can’t access the phone app from the home screen or from the installed Apps screens.
Technically as the Phone App is pre-installed on a Samsung Galaxy Tab, you can legally insert a standard three 3-2-1/All In One PAYG sim on one of those tablets if it has a sim card slot on it.
Mine is a samsung galaxy tab 3 @ 8" though it does not have a sim card slot on it.
I would have thought that the standard three PAYG smartphone sim inserted in your smartphone or tablet and using Personal hotspot on them (or inside a mifi device) to tether to your laptop, PC, PS4, virgin or sky set top box and the like would be the tethering that three would be able to detect. That is the only true tethering there is really. Inserted in your tablet that behaves more like a smartphone rather than a laptop or PC is not really tethering to my mind, even if three may class a > 7" Galaxy tablet as a tethering device.
