Does this tab support data - such as GPRS and Edge. Basically can I use it on my 2G or 3G mobile network ?

No this tablet doesn't support 2G or 3G capabilities, if you want these features, you need to buy the "Sony Xperia Tablet S 3G" model.

Well I bought the 16GB WIFI-only model. I don't need 3G for my tablet as I use it mainly at home but when I'm outside I tether it to my phone's (Xperia S) 3G network and it works fine. Or you might want to get the 3G model if you need a constant 3 g connection.

@J.S Internet would work @2G/2.5G which is called EDGE networks but for 3G Internet speeds one would need ATT to use with Nokia American Model phones :)

Since the tablet doesn't support 1700/2100 (AWS) frequency, it will only correctly work with T-Mobile if you're in a 1900MHz refarmed area. Check with T-Mobile to confirm availability of this band. If it is, you'll get 3G/4G speeds, which are usually much slower than the normal AWS bands T-Mobile uses... but still fast enough for most internet and multimedia tasks. If not, you'll have Edge/2G, and that's really not usable.

Yes. You can use it. But when I tried it on T-mobile, the internet speed doesn't go any faster than 2G (edge)

Amazon needs to update that photo of the bottom of the unit showing the ports. It is misleading people in thinking it can be used as a cellular device. The picture shows there is a socket for a sim card which there is NOT.There is no sim card support for this device so connecting directly to a cellular network is not possible. However, it does have a micro usb port, and wireless. If your 3g services support tethering devices to your phone it should work that way without a problem.

Yes, this phone works with AT&T and T-Mobil for 2G service(phone call +GPRS/EDGE Data) . For 3G service, it works only on T-Mobil.

I may be wrong but I seem to have read somewhere coby tablet will not support this. What I have done is I have turned my cell phone into a hotspot and can then use internet with my tablet anywhere my phone has coverage, which seems to be about everywhere so far.

Works in almost any Band but If you are in USA and wants to use 4G LTE or 3G on Tmobile, this phone gives problem and works only on 2GATT works with Edge I thinkI dont know about others

All versions of the Xperia tablet sold in the United States are Wi-Fi only. They do not have a SIM card slot. Sony does sell a version that supports 3G in some countries but will likely never do so here because of a workaround I'm about to describe next.... There is a simple and cost-effective workaround to this "problem." That is, if you also have a recent model 4G phone (from any carrier)--and most people do--you can simply enable the "Mobile Hotspot" feature to turn your phone into a 4G gateway. Then, you can simply connect by Wi-Fi from your tablet to your phone. You don't need two data plans this way (one for the phone, one for the tablet); you just piggyback on your phone plan. I hope that makes sense. This works really well with my Verizon Motorola Razr MAXX HD phone on both 4G (available almost everywhere now) and 3G (in more rural areas). In fact, I can actually get faster throughput from my phone than from my 4Mbit DSL service in my own home. Because I have an unlimited data plan with Verizon, I don't worry about extra charges. That's the whole reason why the carriers want to sell 3G/4G tablets anyway....to get you to buy more data. But, lately they've found that the cellular tablets are a harder sell when they have to explain that there is a separate data plan. So, the carriers now offer the "hotspot" feature because the whole purpose is to get you to pay for data somehow. If you're not using it on your phone, maybe you'll use it on your tablet via your phone. I hope this helps you. Good luck.

Hi no it supports Global, LTE/CDMA and GSM/UMTS. Under settings to go More...(below Data usage) tap on Network Mode and chose the mode in the Preferred network mode display. Thank you Sam samddsmotorsports@gmail.com

It will not work. The firmware is not an issue, the hardware is. The phone cannot physically receive any US 3G frequencies. I also have a N95-2, and no US 3G will work. You either have to settle for EDGE or get a phone that supports US 3G.

Nope. Just get one from the mobile provider of your choice as the tab is unlocked. Enjoy. :-)

3g will work almost out of the box, normal programming required. restart and you should be good to go. :) also I've been getting around 1mb/s speed on my droid. LOVE IT

Yes it is. I requires microsim and support quad band, that means if you are travelling to various countries in Europe or Asia, the Tab will work on their local GSM network.

I use it via safari on my iphone. Just type the IP address assigned. Is browser based. Not sure about Android.

Yes, it supports 2G, 3G and 4G, as long as your simcard supports GSM850,900,1800 or 1900. Thanks.
