Can my tablet connect to a 4G network?

[barkingtreefrog]

I bought a tab 4, 8" about 2 weeks ago and I'm loving it. The spec sheet says it can connect to a 4G network. I didn't buy this from my carier, just a hardware store. Am I correct in assuming that this tablet has the correct hardware needed to connect to 4g, I'd just need to figure out how to do so?

First off you should look into the devices settings to see if there's an option for mobile data connectivity otherwise this is a moot exercise. Well if the spec sheet lists mobile connectivity you need to first find the sim card tray on the device. Look for a small hole next to a rectangular outline you could fit a paperclip into. Push the paperclip into said hole and the sim tray will pop out allowing you to use a sim card in the device. Finding a carrier may be more difficult. The spec sheet should list the supported radio bands of your tablet you need to find a carrier in your area that uses those bands and procure an acceptable plan from them.

Verizon has the tab. I am most likely going to get it from my carrier. I prefer to have the data package. I can use my phone as a Hotspot or my jet pack. I have the awesome note 10.1 2014 but a smaller tab will be good too. I did have the note 8.0 but wifi only really isn't a good option for me. I don't have home internet

You need to get a SIM card from VZW and select a monthly plan.
