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}.

You'll need to check the cover fits the tablet but other than that a SIM card and a charger, you won't have to have anything else.

PAYG is ideal but which tariff depends on your usage.

The Sony Experia Compact is out of the box and charging.  It has a nifty charger cover which I missed to begin with !       Any one have a Dummies guide to Tablets I can borrow  : - ))

Im looking at the sim choices    321 looks ok. )?) Now we have the prospect of tiny paws travel abroad might be limited to  once a year now for a while.   Im guessing 02 has an app or something on a lappy to check data usage to weigh up expenses.
