7" Tablet pc
« on: July 08, 2012, 18:32:07 PM »
Can anyone help please, we are thinking of buying one of these tablets to take to Turkey with us but we are not too techy. We bought a Kindle to use for internet but the net is so small on it and one minute we can figure out how to get it the next we can't, we have decided to keep the kindle for books only.
With the tablets do you just switch it on and get the internet or do you have to have a wireless code?
Any help will be greatly appreciated as don't want to make another mistake again ??? many thanks in advance folks.

You have two options:

1. Wifi only tablet (you need to be connected to a wireless network to use the Internet)
2. Wifi and 3G tablet (as above for wifi but you can also pay for a sim card either pay as you go or monthly). If using in turkey it is probably cheaper to buy a sim there

I wouldn't be without mine. It is wifi when we were out last I used mine in bars etc to connect to their wifi. When we go out next i will use a dongle and buy the sim in Turkey PAYG.  And the bes is the tablet fits in my hand bag. Great gadget.

I'm not sure you can plug a dongle into a tablet (probably can but not an option on my tablet). The alternative is that you can use the dongle to create a wifi network by adding a router to it that allows you then to connect (wirelessly) to your tablet (or a computer, laptop, phone etc), of course, only in the place that the router is installed though (your apartment/villa).

I can use the mini usb/female convertor, will try to upload the photo, and the dongle will go into the female of the convertor, I have an unlocked 3g Dongle but also purchased Turkcel dongle (from Fethiye buy sell on Facebook) for which I will buy the sim, someone did mention that it was 49TL per month or 79TL PAYG, need to check out a bit more. 
I have the 7" tablet, I can't read the screens on the phones but this is ample for me to check emails, forum and surf the net, play games, plus loads more, even record my SKY program from Turkey. 
(I just love my gadgets)

why not have a look through this site  http://www.androidmall.co.uk/  Wifi for using bars etc and maybe a dongle  3g included ones just need the sim.  just for a pointer, see one that could interest you and then ask a question about it, this could make sure you buy the right one for you.

Instead of getting a Dongle why not get whats called a Turkcell 3G multivinn wife. Its a device like a small pack of cards which receives the 3G signal then makes a wifi hot spot around it. So if you have it in your pocket or handbag you can still get online with just a wifi only tablet.
