public static boolean supportCallAndSMS(Context context) {

boolean isSupported = false;

TelephonyManager telephonyManager = (TelephonyManager) context

.getSystemService(Context.TELEPHONY_SERVICE);

boolean isPhone = !(telephonyManager.getPhoneType() == TelephonyManager.PHONE_TYPE_NONE);

boolean featureTelephony = context.getPackageManager().hasSystemFeature(

PackageManager.FEATURE_TELEPHONY);

if(isPhone && featureTelephony) {

isSupported = true;

}

return isSupported;

}
