    Galaxy Tab is great!! You put your own sim card in and u can use it as a phone as well. Supports kindle, etc however, for £200 you are going to struggle me thinks

    Your going to struggle for £200. I use a cheap Android tablet that has wifi, I then use wifi to connect my phone and tablet when I need a 3G connection.

    Galaxy tab 2 7" can be had for under £200, but is wifi only. You will need to tether it to your phone for internet connection, or use a 3g dongle.

    Is there any value in running a SIM for a tablet and another for a phone instead of tethering?

    I tether my 3g phone to my tablet when I need mobile 3g, do what your data allowances, Giff Gaff do a great unlimited data (with some calls and texts deal) for £10pm Lumalee is the man to talk to both about tablets and giff gaff sims

    This is exactly what I've done. 64GB Ipad 1 wifi for just under £200 tethered to my iphone. works perfectly

    With the TAB you don't need to tether!!! Just put your sim card in and you'll get whatever your contract allows
