This tablet supports GSM sim card? Or is it just wifi?

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.

Yes, they support GSM and SIM cards. You would need a SIM card from them though.

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.

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.

I tried sim cards from three different providers and none of them worked, despite the claim that this tablet has 4G capability. I had to return it.

No, this model does not need a sim card. It is a Wi-Fi only model, and it cannot connect to Verizon Wireless or AT&T; Wireless, etc, cellular networks. I think that Dell is working on another version of this tablet that will support a sim card and could communicate on cellular networks, but right now, this is a Wi-Fi only tablet.

It won't come with the SIM card, your expecting GSM networks carrier ( ATT, H2O wireless, T-Mobile ..etc.. ) will sale it to you as phone services, it requires Mini SIM card.

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.

Yes, this phone does support a sim card for gsm communications, but you are limited to the 16gb onboard storage due to the lack of an sd card slot.

No, I don't think you can use any kind of SIM, because this tablet does not have a SIM slot.

No. This tablet does not have a sim card slot. For one that does, you might try the Lenovo 2107, which is based on this tablet.
