I get this message everytime I attempt to use chat for vt on my tablet, how do I get it to work? Or is that not possible?

To use the chat on a mobile device Mike would have to purchase the mobile functions for chat. It's been brought up before and I believe the answer has always been a pretty solid "no."
From my understanding the chat isn't cheap as is. It would just be another hefty expense out of the pocket of those who aim to keep this site funded and ad-free.

Yeah we don't have one,
I think the chat itself cost $125 and it would cost $25/$35 more to secure the mobile version. It was always said that if the mobile version was free then we would likely have installed it.

It's $125 recurring. Not a small amount of money, but then again, it isn't easy to maintain all of those servers. The mobile edition is another $35 recurring, which is ridiculous, but apparently enough people buy it.
Presumably there is a cheaper version out there that does the same things or more as AddOn does(we have the "Professional Plus (http://www.addonchat.com/features.html)"). Whether that is a viable option is something that can be considered some day.
