No wireless - which 3g Tablet?

I am thinking of buying a tablet, but I don’t have wireless internet. I do have a 3g dongle.

Is there a tablet in the market which can connect by plugging in the dongle? Please excuse the question if ridiculous but I have no knowledge of tablets.

If I can't plug in the dongle, what exactly do I need to do to connect to the internet? The simpler the method the better. Teethering is out as I am on PAYG.

Also, is there a tablet someone can recommend that suits my situation - up to £100 or thereabouts. Larger the screen the better.

Tks.

    I'm using a 3g sim off ebay that lasts 3 months or 3gb whichever comes first and only costs £11 each. Don't think you will find a 3G tablet that cheap though.Currys sell a Lenovo tablet, 16 gb for £149.99, looks ok but can't vouch for it.

    There is no 3G tablet under £100.

    I suggest you go for £180 Asus Fonepad coming out end of the month.
    Since it can make phone call, you can probably use £12 a month Giffgaff for unlimited data.

    On the other hand, I suggest you get mifi instead of 3g dongle as I don't know which tablet have the driver to support the dougle.
