Computer Help and Support

We're planning on buying SIM cards for the time we're in Britain - that is a LOT cheaper than paying Verizon $10 a day for overseas access. For an additional fee the company I am considering will forward calls from our USA cell numbers to our UK numbers. So rather than upgrade my phone I'd planned on upgrading my tablet and using it as a phone. I never thought that they would reduce the capabilities of tablets!

My husband mostly uses his phone to get texts and keep up with his family on Facebook (their preferred way of keeping in touch). I'd like to keep our usage separate so I have my own device.

Our backup plan was that he would upgrade his phone, I would get his old one and we'd take both. We will also take at least one laptop since we're doing research while we are in the UK, but the laptop is too big to hold in the car while navigating. I guess we will have to test using his current phone as a WiFi hotspot and see how that works with my old tablet. If it does, then we can go to our backup plan.
