Hi,
I am in need of guidance! I leave in a month to Zambia, Africa for a mission trip.
I will be using a USB modem with SIM card for internet access. WIFI is out of the question, and I'm under the impression the cell service is spotty!
I thought a tablet would be the best option- lighter, smaller, etc.BUT I don't have a clue which tablets will work with the USB modem and would hate to carry the laptop and lose precious luggage space and weight!!
I found all kinds of tablets to chose from- mind blowing actually at the options!! I would use it to read(via NOOK, KINDLE apps), email, SKYPE! I can spend around $200.
Which tablet to buy? What extras would I need (USB dongle)? How would I get the modem to work?
The power is 220V with a "B" plug- would I need a power converter or just a plug adapter? I've heard all versions of the power options!!!
Trying to limit personal items so luggage can carry supplies!! PLEASE HELP!!!
Thanks!
