Wanted - Tablet for travel , minimal usage

[Jenny105]

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}.

Tea and bikkies will do just fine

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

8'' Fits into a handbag or back pack pocket ....... M15 will confirm,. I need a travel device, no games, maybe occasional film to squint 

I have a lappy notebook  of 11''  - 25cm for my photography etc.  But thnaks for the thought

I have an old cover . presume it charges with a phone charger same as Microsoft one did.
Will I need any other accessories. ?

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  : - ))

Same as your phone, just bigger

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.
