Yes this is just like a big phone, you can use your own sim and also use it to make phone calls as you can with most samsung 4g tabs

they are unlocked as far as I'm aware and you can change the nano SIM for your own one.if you go to item on curry's site you can read the questions ask about item and it confirms this.

7" tablets really aren't that useful. Had one years ago and found that it was too small to be that useful. Didn't make much sense using it over my phone.
If I was buying a tablet, I'd go for 9" or 10" size.

I have a 7" tablet and a 10" tablet. The 7" is far more portable and you can hold it with one hand. Using a 10" you have to be sat down and hold it with two hands.

I know what ROM stands for. The tablets Storage is 8GB and it's not 8GB ROM. You realise storage is writable? i.e. not ROM

But then I'd just use my phone if I just wanted portability and something one handed.
You can hold a 10" tablet with one hand. iPad Air 2 (9.7") for example, is ridiculously light and thin. Same with the iPad Mini (8").
All I'm saying it that people should think twice about going for a 7" size as it's not that useful if you have a 5" or 5.5" smartphone and it's a size that's gradually being phased out due to lack of popularity.

It looks like the WiFi only model so no option for mobile data via a sim card

No, after the 6 months run out it's pretty much useless and fit for the bin.

Yes you can it will automatically connect to the wifi anyway, till there is no wifi available, you can also turn the mobile data off if you just want to use wifi

surely thats not true? can't you use wifi after 4g data runs out?

No, it's like the old disposable cameras, once the 6 months is up you have to buy a new tablet.
I'm actually joking, please don't listen to me! This seems to be a very good deal! HEAT

Personally holding a 10" tablet playing games and media in landscape mode is not comfortable for me. Maybe I don't have the biggest hands.
But just like you warn people (and rightly so) to think if a 7" is best, equally 10" might be too big. I use my 7" tab far more often than my 10" one. In fact it's in my bag with me now. :smiley:

To be fair, you do make a valid point! If you're playing those games where you're holding it horizontally and you're somehow having to press left and right buttons on the screen, it is a nice size, a bit like those Nintendos from yesteryear. I guess I forgot about that as I don't really play games on a tablet.
For everything else though, I still reckon smaller or bigger is better! :wink:

Can anyone confirm if you can easily access the sim slot and put in a different data sim, say from Three?
