Hi. I apologize if this was asked else where, I did a search before posting and only found one similar question from 2011 that was never answered. The specific tablet I am asking about is:
Lenovo Tab 2 10.1" Full HD 16GB Android Tablet
Product Code: ZA000001US
Serial Number: HGCBM49Q
Operating System: Android
Wireless Capability: 802.11 a/b/g/n
My question is about connecting to the Internet when there is no wi-fi available. I am getting ready to go on vacation and where I am going, the nearest wi-fi, or anything else for that matter, is over 30 miles a way. I was told that I could buy a data plan specifically for the tablet but I'm not sure how to go about this. I have a straight talk phone and they also have data plans for tablets, however, it says that the tablet has to be AT&T, T-Mobile or Verizon compatible. How do I know if it is? It also says that I have to get a SIM card, however, I am not seeing any place on the tablet where one could be inserted. Am I missing something? One additional thing...If there is no way for me to accomplish connecting to the Internet through the tablet, I have an older laptop that is running windows 7, is there a way to connect it to the Internet without wi-fi?
