Tablet recommendation?

[ycming]

Hey peeps,

Was thinking of getting one, I want one that is 3g capable so I can get internet access when i travel. Does the following tablet gives you that ?

Also what other do you recommend at that price range?

As i understand apple, samsung asus with 3g/LTE are all out of my price range.

Thanks
Ming

No 3g capability on that. What phone have you got? Most modern phones are capable of turning into a WiFi hotspot if you already have a data plan?

3G Connectivity

There is a nexus7 that has 3G, needs a sim card (i.e. http://giffgaff.com/goodybags/500mb-mobile-broadband )

Although I have a MIFI device that allows me to do the same with my nexus 7.

However - thats damn cheap for the 3G nexus7 - I'd be querying it with them.

There are issues however - what do you want to use one for?

Watching videos is excellent but it drains power quickly and the sound output is pants.

Is a present for my g/f. She has that virgin media plan unlimited everything which doesnt allow tethering, hence i need for the 3g.

She travels betwene Glasgow, London, so be good to just to surf the web and watch stuff.

IT does say 3g on it? So do people think is dodgy ?

Thanks

I would either get a better phone that does it all (speak with Virgin or swap to EE as I have tethering included Galaxy Note for instance) or get an Apple Ipad mini. I used to be anti Apple........until I bought one. When you first pick it up you realise why and it just works. However look on Ebuyer as they have good deals.

Sorry meant Maplin not ebuyer your link is for Ebuyer doh

I'd check with them that its actually 3G.

If it is then its a damn good price - I suspect though that its the non 3g version and they have it written up wrong.

An alternative is a mifi device that allows you to use upto 4 wifi devices with a 3g sim which then allows you to use any wifi tablet. I picked mine up for a fiver on the market (normally about £30-40)

They have just confirmed that indeed does have 3g.

So confused, it's just too cheap to be true.

495767 is the product code found in the advert so it confirms it

That item from eBuyer is old stock now so they are getting rid quick.

It's the 2012 model, not 2013.

But it does have 3G.
