Android Help

I have a new tablet running on the Android system which has built in 3G connectivity.

I have topped up the SIM but cannot get the tablet to recognise the card.

I've paired it to my phone via Bluetooth but that doesn't work.

Can anyone advise on where I need to go settings wise to get it to recognise the SIM card and connect that way

Thanks

have you switched on mobile data? Depending on which version you are running will be in Settings Under Wireless & networks > More > Mobile Networks and make sure Data Enabled is ticked

Does the sim work in anything else, a phone maybe?

I use GiffGaff for my phone card and was going to be cheeky and try and tether

but bought an O2 SIM to be sure.

Just waiting on firmware upgrade to finish

Hopefully that will sort it

Hi still need some help with this

Have done the firmware upgrade the tablet is showing a signal but no webpages will open

You need to create an APN before it will work. Depending on which data-SIM you are going to use, create the APN.

It should work after that..

Unfortunately this is not compatible with my tablet

Suppose that's what i get for buying a Chinese import

Funny thing is the tablet shows O2 and i have a signal but no access

Had a play around with it tonight but no joy

Will visit the O2 shop tomorrow and see if they can help
