  • It works same as having Internet on a phone. Need a sim from a network and they will prob all charge different

  • The tablet will require a SIM card. SIM cards are available on PAYG basis or on contract - depending on preference. They can be as cheap as expensive as you want depending on how many GB you use.

    Yes, they take a micro SIM, which you can get from most network providers such as EE, Vodaphone etc.

    How you pay depends on what package you buy from whichever provider you choose. I have a '5p per 100Mb' deal from EE that's direct-debited every month.
