URGENT QUESTION

[Bev54]

My friend has bought me a Samsung galaxy s9 11 inch 128GB WI-FI - Tablet Graphite, will this Tablet run off mobile wifi? Or run off a mobile similar card data ? I would appreciate a quick reply please. Thank you

@Bev54: If it is the Wi-Fi only model, then it will only be possible to establish a Wi-Fi connection, as it does not feature a SIM card holder to install a network SIM (for mobile data connections). For mobile data connections to be possible, you would require the 5G variant linked below. I hope this helps.

The description of the tablet is exactly as it says in my question above, i do not want to break the security seal until i know it will run off mobile data wifi ?

@Bev54: If it has Wi-Fi in the title, then it is Wi-Fi only. For Mobile data connections to be possible, it would need to have '5G' in the title. 

Wi-Fi variant = SM-X710

5G variant - SM-X716

@AndrewL i will have to put a sim card in it to run it off my mobile phone data like i do with my Samsung galaxy tab A7 lite

@AndrewL the model number of my samsung galaxy tab s9 WiFi is SM- X710 and runs off my samsung galaxy S10 mobile data
