Dolphin 12 month sim card only
Mobile internet 250 mb

You don't get BT Openzone Hotspot usage included with that package. But you can buy a £2 per month unlimited WiFi bundle to go along with it. With that you get a username and password. But I'm not sure that it gives you anything more than what O2 are offering for free.

Not sure why the O2 App doesn't work with your Tablet, but then I don't own an Android Tablet.

+OK guys, will get back to that later. I note I have "Box" on my tablet and have signed up for it, as an experiment I selected three items, one from BBC news/Sky news/OK mag. when I click on something, it gave me the option to save/share to Twitter/Gmail/Box. I highlighted Box and it said, "downloading".

Then I clicked on the Box widgit on the homepage and the three items I'd saved were there, but neither of them would open. A message said "no installed application can open this file", which of course, means nothing to this clown. Any suggestions please?

Now the tablet battery is very low, so will close and return either later or tomorrow, please don't give up on me (ha ha)

That is just for file storage (in the 'Cloud').

Look here and here

Pocket(former Readitlater) appears to be popular.

Thanks to you, I now have Pocket installed and know how to use it , simples. Thanks. As for Box, that has been removed from Homepage and O2 uninstalled.

Seems I now have exactly what I wanted, the facility to store stuff to read on rail journeys.

For the moment guys we can take a break. But as the great Arnie once said, "I'll be back"

and I am. Just endevoured to look again at the Pocket website on my laptop only to find the items saved on my tablet, appear on the laptop. So how do I sign out and how do I change the command for google to keep my password. Having said they could retain the password, it is now filled in, albeit with asterisks, but all that is necessary is to click log in, I'd rather complete the process myself.

You could always purchase one of these for your 3G sim card slot...

Great value for money and a good connection when you are not in a wifi area.

Don't be silly. Your imagining that he has a SIM slot won't make one appear.
