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}.

Well nearly ready to go ....... the pause in activity is due to the Paws adventures of late and the hiatus over the repaired phone.  Ignorance causes a lot of worry !!Destroy

 

Battery is charged , and manual at the ready.   I have  a SIM 3 2 1 phone sim to hand, can that be used initially to try out my usage.   Or    is a data SIM the only one for Experion   02 B. ?

bbest wishes

321 sim is fine. You'll get 1gb of data for £10.00

Thanks M.  The calculator suggested gives a rough idea of how many gb might be used while away or away from the house.  

One afternoon during Wimbledon week I'll sit with the Experion and see how I get on. Crazy LOL

Watch this space for HELP. !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! ;-))

Can I just check first if you have "O2" showing at the top of the screen?

Hi M ,    In the right hand corner of the body of the tablet is an 02 sticker.    The link given to the  tablet stated 02 in the link- see  an above post. No 02 showing onscreen.  It states No SIM - No service.  If a photo would help I'll charge my phone and send a piccy

OK, so No SIM, No Service would imply that the sim is not inserted correctly.
Check the instructions here to ensure correct assembly https://support.sonymobile.com/global-en/xperiaz3tabletcompact/userguide/assembly/#gref

TA. The info looks similar to the guide. I'll take a look tomorrow if poss.

Tomorrow I'll be wielding hammer , nails , and trellis fencing. This seems easier than wielding a sim card .Destroy However theres no guarantee my'' dog keeper in ''and ''cat keeper out''  fence extension will stay in place   head_bandage

PS the Tablet fits the summer handbag. With cover, no doubt the winter one will be best.

Seems a little extreme to insert a sim card joy
