Wanted - Tablet for travel , minimal usage

Jenny105 — Wed, 05 Jun 2019 19:18:27 GMT

Hi Im looking for a Tablet. Mostly for occasional travel use Needs:--

take 02 sim (payg or monthly )

wifi, searches, email,

maybe photography if of suitable calibre;

not games except sudoku type downloads;

maybe occasional film.

Simple to use for older person.

I havent looked up 02s offerings as yet but they are usually expensive

Any ideas or tips would be welcome.

{My previous Microsoft tablet was reconditioned it worked on wifi but an 02 trainee gave me a sim card that didnt work with the tablet. I lost money over that}.

Look in CEX for a secondhand Sony Z3.
I have one and it’s still awesome

Tablet Z3 is a great tablet and can be gotten at some bargain prices.

Still got mine @viridis and it was second hand from CEX (as you know :smileytongue:). Ray took it over as I wasn't using it much. Still works well, is fast and responsive.

I would definitely go for Z3 as suggested. It's obviously a brilliant device if other members have them. Recommendation is everything.

What would you consider to be a great price @viridis?

150 and below
150-175 is good if great condition.
Though it's been a while since I checked but I'd still rate it as a great sub £200 tablet

I just wish I was in a position to buy when I had the chance. I had to make do with a reconditioned Kindle.

Around the £100 mark now in CEX.

Had a look and most (on their page) appear to be the compact 8" version and not the 10"...

Sure is

Mine was the 10inch. Got it's own cover and bluetooth keyboard as well...though my other half doesn't bother with the keyboard..

Sounds cool - wow.

I made a previous mistake in that I didnt ask the 02 trainee to fit the sim into my microsoft tablet. However the Linx served its purpose for a while and was very cheap quick buy
