title: <uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" />
body: <p>I published my application on Play Store but it is not available for tablets. I checked the functionality of the application on Google play store and after some research found that my application has some Telephony features which I believe is the guilty party. Here is my manifest file.</p>

  <p>I believe <code>&lt;uses-permission android:name="android.permission.SEND_SMS" /&gt;</code> activates the Telephony functionality. However I need this permission to send sms. Can any one tell me if there is an alternate way to by pass this if running in a Tablet.</p>
