I'm looking a purchasing a second Xoom, our first is WiFi only. If I get a WiFi / 3G Xoom, will the wifi work without enabling the 3G?

yes, they are completely separate. what I liked is the fact that if you are in a wi fi area it can over ride the 3g so you don't use up 3g data time. I used the Xoom in S Africa with a Vodacom SIM for internet access but when I was in a place that had free wi fi access it would automatically switch to wi fi and save on my prepaid 3g.

Yes it will. I do not use mine with 3G and as an AT&T; rep you can hook any tablet up just using wifi, it is just telling you it is capable of doing 3G if you pay for the service.

I wouldn't. I own the original zoom and love it. but the sd card slot still doesn't work!..even with the updates!!!IVE SINCE PURCHASED 2 SAMSUNG GALAXT TABLETS AND THEY ARE SUPERIOR AND AWESOME! you wont be disappointed.

Yes. 3G/4G is independent of Wi-Fi. Think of 3G/4G as an internet service subscription (like what you would have in your house) only portable. If you are close to a router and can receive Wi-Fi from that router, then you will have Wi-Fi. But if you do not have access to Wi-Fi provided through a router, with a 3G/4G enabled device, you have a roaming internet connection provided by your cellular provider which you can access anywhere you can access your cellular provider's signal.Hope that helps!

Yesm it will. The 3G is separated from Wi-fi, and yoou can work with them as you want without both enabled.

As far as I understand it they've 86'd the 3G feature. WiFi only for the new slim model.

I honestly don't know. My previous tab was an Ideapad. Don't know anyone with a Xoom either.

First of all, this unit has been one of the best investments for my phone I have ever made. That said, my iPhone 5 when wi fy is turned off shows 4G. I would ASSUME that 3G should work just as well. When I walk away from the house I have either no service, 3G, or LTE, but it doesn't work long enough to be useful. I didn't know I had 4G until after I purchased the Soho 65. I hope this helps, and for the small price of the unit, just go for it! My unit is about 2 years old. Russ

Thanks for the input Cinder Ella Good to know the wifi operated without a sim card.On another forum someone posted that when they bought this phone -not directly from their phone service company- and they put their old sim card in it, the phone company recognized the new phone and immediately upgraded their service to include a data plan. Maybe they were actually using the data plan, which I didn't think could be done without a sim card that includes data service.

Well, all i can say is i have 4g wifi and it works super! I have 2 other tablets and of all three this is my favorite! I hope you can find the answer you are looking for... Goodluck!

Thanks. I bought the Xoom and love it. I have downloaded so many apps that I can keep busy for months. It really is an amazing device and I have so much memory left I can't imagine what to do next. I use it everyday and the battery lasts for hours. Thanks for the heads up, and I am not sorry I bought this.

I did'nt quite understand the question, however, after purchasing the item you can use it in any of its functions without any cost. for the 3g wifi function must have a 3g modem with sim card. You must configure the APN according to your operator data for it to work. the operating costs is according to your operators fare, that you already pay.

You don't need this device if you have access to WiFi. You don't need this device if your cell phone permits you to 'tether' other devices. In places where you have No WiFi, but where cell phone coverage, 3G/4G is available, and if your cell phone does not permit tethering, and if you have a device like a tablet or a laptop PC without a dongle, ....with which you want to access the internet, then this device is handy. It can serve multiple devices simultaneously. Of course, you need to install a sim chip with data service from the cell phone provider of your choice.

Not a lot. One is a wifi only tablet while the other two models are verizan tablets that can get wifi and 3g or 4g service through verizan. So there is the wifi model, 3g model, and 4g model

Just in case you are unaware, the mention of 3G is for use with USB 3G sticks. Through verizon or Virgin Mobile, for example, both offer USB sticks to be used with laptops etc. for a monthly fee. You would then attach your monthly charged 3G USB stick, to the Alfa R36, to broadcast that 3G service wirelessly to multiple devices. As far as 4G goes, I would think that it would work for this, but have nothing to support my guess. I would assume as long as the USB 4G device was supported, there would be no issues. But again, just a guess, as I don't even have 4G service available in my area. Just in case you are unaware, the mention of 3G is for use with USB 3G sticks.

Depends. It is not a 3G unit (which would require an account with a wireless provider anyway). This device will create a wifi connection as long as you have a wired internet connection available to plug into. You may also be able to use as a repeater for an existing weak wifi signal.

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 works with any wifi network, even my personal hotspot I can create with my iphone. I don't know if you can add it to a 3G / 4g wireless network provider or not though? I would guess probably no though. I haven't seen anywhere in settings that would suggest otherwise. Other than that though, it's really a great tablet and very dependable. It never acts up like my wife's Kindle Fire HD 7" tablet. Good battery life too. Good Luck.
