Once again I dabbled into the insufferable realm of actually thinking I could get what I asked for from one of the giant telecoms.
I have an old phablet that I use strictly as a tablet. I don't want or need a phone, but there are no true tablets that meet the "fits in my coat pocket" criteria that makes the device something useful I can carry around all the time. I've been using it for several years now without a valid SIM card, just using WiFi.
