crisaus Can I use my sim on my tablet as a phone?

Only if it's a,"Phablet" which means it needs a Phone Sim-Card slot.

You can however,"Tether" your phone to your Tablet.This uses your phone as a Mobile Modem/Hotspot.

What model phone do you have and what is the Tablet?

I can't find PdaNet for iphone... It's very hard to see what this guy is actually doing, thankyou, I'm searching online. I am also assuming geo broken phone(?) means iphone?

When you switch tablet on does a phone keypad appear if yes you can call using l sim in the tablet from a quick Google search click the phone icon at bottom of home screen enter number you wish to call and click send

crisaus he is saying jail broken not geo broken.

Jailbreaking means bypassing the restrictions Apple puts on the operating system and taking full control of the device. With a jailbroken device, you can install apps and tweaks that aren't authorized by Apple, but you also remove the tough security protections that Apple has built into iOS.

sheppola that's what I do to connect my laptop when I need to! I did have some problems 3 years ago with giffgaff, not being able to connect to my motorola wifi hotspot, my son's iphone wifi hotspot worked fine though. As I now have an iphone, I hope there will be no hassles!

crisaus There are two versions of the Samsung TabA, one is WiFi only and the other one has a SIM slot.

If yours has a SIM slot then you can use a giffgaff SIM.

If you do decide to use giffgaff for your tablet, don't forget to buy a goodybag.

giffgaff changed their policy on,"Tethering" so you should have no problems once you get the correct settings.I use Tethering to my Laptop when working away when there's no free WiFi 🙂
