Advantages of having SIM card slot in tablet
It is always good to have SIM card slot in tablet. Some tablets allow full phone functionality in it like call making over GSM network, messaging etc. In such phones surely there will be SIM card slot and also you will be able to use internet through GPRS. For example Aakash tablet.
In some other tablets, there will be SIM card slot, but phone functionality will not be there. In such tablets, SIM card slot is provided only to access GPRS or 3G service for internet connectivity. But you cannot make call or send message. For example BSNL tablet
Still in rural areas 3G connectivity is a dream only. Also in some areas even though 3G connectivity is there, cost is really high. Still it will take 2 or 3 more years for the 3G price to come down. Also not everybody can have wi-fi data connectivity. So the only way to connect to internet from rural areas and villages is GPRS only. Even though GPRS connectivity is slow, still it is enough for browsing, if streaming videos is not considered. For GPRS connectivity you must have SIM card slot in your tablet.

Guys i want tab wit gsm network sim card facility for browsing purpose,wher can i get in coimbatore?
ReplyDeleteYou can book aakash tablet through online, it has all features you want. But as the booking has crossed a large number, you may have to wait. It is also announced that government is going to distribute aakash tablet to college students at reduced rate.
DeleteGuys i want tab wit gsm network sim card facility for browsing purpose,wher can i get in coimbatore?
ReplyDeleteI booked Ubislate 7+ of Datawind in march 2012 and the price was paid in full on 20-03-2012. But not so far I got it. Every time I enquire,they ask for booking number and particulars of payment. When I furnish the details,they simply say that it will be delivered in 15 to 20 days. Today also I got such a reply. Don't believe them pay in advance. I am afraid I have been cheated !!!!!I think BSNL penta T pad is not having sim-slot.For getting net in it, you will have to use USB modem like Huawei and so on...
ReplyDeleteThe same thing happened with me too. I booked this so called cheap tablet Ubislate 7+ in december last year and never got it delivered. Further when I googled it up I found that I wasn't the only one who was cheated. There are many. Now I have bought this BaSlate 7R from www.baslate.com which just costed me Rs 3299 and I got it delivered within 5 days of booking.

ReplyDeletetabletinfoworld.co.cc
nice collection of info. I really appieciate your work
ReplyDeletei thik waste of money...ther is no expextd features....
ReplyDeleteI ordered for the Milagrow 16GB 7"tablet with Sim slot on Indiatimes shopping site. I paid the money in full and finally after 9 days, one of the reps calls me to say that my order is cancelled since product is discontinued. But I find Indiatimes advertising the product & selling for Rs.9978/-
ReplyDeleteI have had problems before with Indiatimes. It is best avoided. Most of the information is just misrepresentation & if the prices go up while you wait for your product, you are never going to get it. Be sure. Indiatimes is not to be trusted. I learnt it the hard way.
You will find it equipped with a 'kickstand' for viewing content and a cover that is formed with the keyboard and touchpad again for content development.
ReplyDeleteThere are a couple of ways to pay for Netflix even
without a US credit card. i - Pad developers may also create or modify apps to take advantage of
the i - Pad's features.
