Can I put a sim card with data plan into it. And can I connect it to a phone via USB with internet access and send out by wifi signal ?

No, it doesn't have a SIM card slot. It's intended to be used with USB 3G dongles like you use with laptops. I don't think you can tether it by USB to a phone, either, but that doesn't seem very useful anyway. If you have a 3G/4G phone, you should be able to use it as a hotspot without any other hardware.You can also connect it to a cable/DSL modem via Ethernet cable, plug your desktop into the Sapido, and have Wi-Fi for your other devices just like a regular Wi-Fi router, but with only one wired port.

It doesn't have a SIM card slot, you would need a 3G data dongle which takes a SIM card. The mini-USB-B connector is for power only. The top USB-A socket is intended for a 3G dongle. I haven't tried it but it looks like it does support USB mobile tethering based on this link: http://www.sapido.com.tw/EN/smartphone.htm (this shows a different product but the text includes the RB-1632).

Contrary to what the other guy said, no this does not have a SIM card slot. You're looking at the WiFi only model.It does not have full size USB ports, or even micro. You need to connect it via a proprietary sync cable, which is included (though it's also very easy to break). There is one port, not 2- description is wrong.You can use Skype and FB on it... but anything can do that.

Yes.I have done that with mine. You just put in your existing SIM and it will be fine for voice and messaging. I only get data service when connecting through wifi though.

Yes only wifi will work. The data services and phone internet work through the carrier if you got a plan that provides data.

you will need a separate 4G USB air card to use this device; then you can have wi fi just about anywhere you have service this device converts air card cell service to wi fi

No you do not.Your equipment will work with any Wifi. You will only need a SIM card if you want to purchase data from a carrier .

Hi Gourd, You are so awesome! Thank you so very much for testing it for me. I appreciated it very much. It is fantastic to know that the phone can surf the web FREE. So, what is the data plan if I already can log into wifi network and surf the web FREE?

Hi, this Tablet does not take Sim card and because of that you can't get telephone service, but still you can get connected to Internet even in WiFi mode. I hope this info will help you out.Best regards.

It needs to have a active SIM card with a data plan to work. It won't connect to another Wi-Fi. If you have a router that supports USB ethernet then you can use this to provide mobile data to that router.

Although I purchased the phone for my daughter, and we don't use the phone for Internet, I believe the phone is capable of using data and wifi. Many of the features can't be used without it.

The SIM card is used in a usb internet adapter, the USB is then plugged in to the D-link which broadcast WiFi.

Yes. Get a data SIM card from your telco. When you insert sim you will receive configuration settings to set up a .obile data access point

If it is wi-fi only, then no data plan will work. However, if you have the ability to create a hot-spot on your phone, then you don't need a data plan, as you can simply utilize the wi-fi to connect to your phone instead. This is probably the most efficient way to to use your wi-fi when you're not in a trusted place.

There is a place to plug in a SIM. It just needs power to work, and will broadcast wifi with any power. so even a usb wall charger will power it. If you plug into a laptop the computer can connect directly through USB.
