Say why a tablet needs Wi-Fi
Tell why the tablet works in your kitchen and goes quiet on the bus.
A phone has a SIM card and carries its own connection everywhere. Most tablets have none.
Without one, it reaches the internet only through Wi-Fi, which covers a few rooms of a building.
Key points
- Most tablets have no SIM, so Wi-Fi is their only way out
- Away from a network, everything already on the tablet opens
What to remember
- Wi-Fi is the only door out.
- No SIM, no signal of its own. Wi-Fi is the door.
Try this
Look at the Cellular row in your own Settings. No SIM means Wi-Fi is your only door.
