nglodnig Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 I bought the tablet because it was cheap - now I know why. I DID find one of those little hole thingies where you use the magic doofah metal prod - but inserting that - nothing. Feeling along the edge I can't find any sort of slot that would suggest where to put the SIM card(s). I googled it of course and there almost zilch info - watched a couple of videos I found - no help whatsoever. Any body got any ideas? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mickeymaus Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 Tablets often have only WiFi. There are LTE and 5G versions but more expensive than the ones with WiFi only. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

scubascuba3 Posted May 6, 2023 Share Posted May 6, 2023 It could be the same slot as SD card, it is on my tablet Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
nglodnig Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Sorry - can we skip the obvious questions like "Is it SIM enabled" please? Of course I can't find any sign of a manual using Google. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

nglodnig Posted May 6, 2023 Author Share Posted May 6, 2023 Thanks for the one or two helpful suggestions I popped the side cover off (indeed a strange way but I did say it was cheap) and the SIM card (old-style full-size) is in and working. Thanks again NextG and MrJ2U! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've gone that route unfortunately. No updates and for a little more I could have a reliable Samsung Tab A. Good enough for the kids to be rough with. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
