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}.

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 !!

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. 

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

Hi.  Tablet working well on WiFi. Travel,  here I come.    But Not sim. Tiny sim is in tiny casing Cover not fully loved.  Money placed yesterday.  But can't send message or phone.  No doubt this is something simple. Suggestions please. Thanks

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 . However theres no guarantee my'' dog keeper in ''and ''cat keeper out''  fence extension will stay in place

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
