My Sony Z2 do a tablet with sim availability. They have pro office suite installed free too, which is good. You'll be able to get one cheap on bay as they are a couple of years old now, but there are 2 or 3 different versions of the Z2 (one with a cam, one with wi-fi, one with all+sim I think) |

"No you can just teather your tablet to your phone using your phone network as your wifi connection "
Can you still use your phone when doing that? I'm sure I recall trying this and it pretty much turning my phone into a router while my laptop was connected, couldn't receive calls etc. I'm not exactly hot on tech so may be something I did / that can be overcome. |

your mobile network isn't designed to handle a laptop you may get internet on it but it takes a lot more effort which is why I'd did what it did a tablet is absolutely perfect to teather I do it all the time and never have problems with my network although being a mobile network it sometimes bumps me off 3G/4G when I'm talking to someone on the phone but not always tho |

Some mobile phone plans don't allow tethering and with a tablet temptation to use lot vof data will be higher.
Tabelets with built in SIM slot are freat but another option is MiFi devices e.g the 4GEE WiFi |

I agree that you need to ensure your mobile phone plan would need to support its use for tethering - otherwise they can charge extra, for out of plan usage. That's not technical advice, just mobile cost info. |
