In the world of modern mobile electronics, it is rare to find a person who has no idea about tablet computers and never held them. Many users have such gadgets, and they are happy to use them in Everyday life. One of the main tasks assigned to tablets is web surfing. Therefore, users first of all ask themselves the question: what kind of Internet to connect to the tablet? The connection should be made in such a way that it is convenient for the owner to access the Internet everywhere - at home, at work, on vacation, and while traveling. Thus, this question is quite important for any tablet computer user. But you need to pay attention to the following point: all connection options have their pros and cons. After analyzing them, everyone will decide for himself which of the methods is most convenient for him to use with his tablet.
Internet surfing is a popular task for a tablet
Internet Options for Tablet
Easy and cheap internet
Undoubtedly, the simplest, and at the same time in some cases free way Connecting your tablet to the Internet is a Wi-Fi wireless network. Perhaps, any more or less decent model is equipped with a Wi-Fi module, even the most inexpensive Chinese options.
Connecting multiple devices to Wi-Fi
Most modern restaurants, cinemas, educational institutions, and other entertainment and public institutions are ready to provide their customers and visitors with an access point absolutely free of charge. Through it, any user can access the Internet.
Availability mark WiFi networks in an institution
But, unfortunately, this way of accessing the network is not very fast in mind a large number simultaneous connections, and is not at all suitable for watching videos and downloading the necessary videos from sites. It will probably be well used to visit social networks, view news, and check mail. Moreover, public access points, just like home ones, have such a feature as periodic interruptions in communication. But it should be noted that over time this type of Internet is becoming more stable and faster.
It is important to know that using Wi-Fi has such a drawback as operating within the range of the access point only. Thus, the possibility of using the tablet while traveling or on vacation is excluded.
Android device owners can connect their tablet to an already existing network WiFi. Their actions will depend on that version operating system that keeps their device running. If this is Android 4.0 and higher, then immediately in the settings you need to select the first Wi-Fi item and turn it on. If this is Android 3.0, then you need to go to the wireless settings section, and then turn on Wi-Fi.

Mobile Internet
Fast and expensive 3G
In addition to the wireless Wi-Fi network, such a choice of the Internet for the tablet as 3G communication is possible. Using this connection is also convenient, especially since the 3G network covers a much larger coverage than Wi-Fi.
All well-known mobile operators regularly provide their customers with various convenient offers and tariffs for communication services regarding and wireless access to the Internet as well. The service "Internet for tablet devices" is even highlighted in a separate category. More and more users are choosing this Internet option for a tablet, because. it is everywhere where there is a cell tower signal. This implies access to the network and on the road outside the city, and in the forest, and on the beach.
Cellular operator tariff plans
3G connection enjoys in Lately all great success users of tablet gadgets due to the fact that it is able to provide a stable connection and decent speed. Excellent 3G will work even in a moving car or train.
New generation of mobile Internet access - 4G. Within the territory of Russian Federation 4G coverage service is provided by Yota, provider wireless internet. Great amount towers in all cities provide good coverage, but, unfortunately, only in cities and their nearest suburbs. As soon as the user with his device drives a few kilometers away from the city, the connection may break.
Provider Yota
To use the 3G Internet, it is necessary that the tablet has a module specially built for this. All top configurations have two solutions - with and without 3G. The difference in price between them can reach several thousand rubles, it depends on the developer. To this we can add communication costs, which can vary from several hundred to one and a half thousand, depending on which tariff the user chooses for his device.
Integrated 3G module
Perhaps, at one time everyone used the mobile Internet from their phones or other means of communication. The same function is implemented in tablet computers. Most tablet models have a SIM card module, and you can use it for its intended purpose. In this scenario, the tablet is used as a phone, but you can use the Internet and calls service only with the help of one operator.
Built-in 3G/4G module
There are also positive and negative sides. The towers of the selected telecom operator will be located throughout the country, and even in hard-to-reach places you can indulge in web surfing. But considerable Money can be spent on this pleasure. The main tariffs are reduced to the following figures: 1 megabyte of traffic - 1 ruble. With such a pricing policy, it will be difficult for the user not to limit himself in the mobile Internet. But still, this is a good solution for a tablet gadget.
Connection via external 3G modem
In this method, the user should keep in mind that not all 3G modems can be connected to tablet devices. This point comes from some design features modems. At the same time, not all gadgets may have USB ports or MicroUSB ports for organizing this type of connection.
It is important to know that if the tablet device has a MicroUSB port, the user will need an OTG cable to connect to the network. Usually such a cable is already included with the device.
Today, 3G modems are chosen by a fairly decent number of users. Each major cellular company offers them - Beeline, Megafon, Tele-2, MTS, and others. But not all of them are able to provide high-quality communication, therefore, if the user is determined to surf the Internet using a 3G modem, then he should thoroughly approach the study and selection of the necessary device. To do this, he needs to consider:
- Device price range
- Characteristics (speed of data reception and transmission, equipment, additional features)
- Modem design.
It should also be taken into account that the same operator in different regions countries can provide Internet access from different quality. It depends on the rationality of investing money in the development of the service in this region, no one will work at a loss.
All ways to connect the tablet to the network

A tablet is a very convenient device for web surfing. On the big screen, pages are displayed either in the usual "computer" form, or in a layout specially adapted for the touch interface. In addition, many tablets support multi-window mode, which makes it much easier to work with several applications - for example, a browser and a messenger - at the same time.
To make a tablet for the Internet a really useful and practical device that will provide convenient access to a mobile network from almost anywhere, it is recommended to follow a few tips when choosing.
Type mobile internet – 4G LTE. Generations of mobile Internet differ primarily in the speed of access. If 3G provides stable 500 kbps only near the tower (and it is desirable not to move yet), then 4G LTE “gives out” at least 1 Mbps, even if the subscriber is driving a car. What's more, most generation tablets are backwards compatible. That is, if the tablet supports 4G LTE, then it will most likely be able to connect to 3G networks. But on the contrary - no. Of course, 4G LTE leads to increased consumption battery life, but in many cases it is better to sacrifice battery life than the speed and stability of the connection.
Screen- at least 8 inches. The “virtual DPI” of the tablet interface for the Internet depends on the screen diagonal. On devices that are equipped with a display with a diagonal of 7 inches or less, the "telephone" display mode is enabled by default. As a result, using them for web surfing can be somewhat inconvenient. Only more or less "fresh" tablets running Android 7.0 Nougat and newer support DPI change. However, despite the fact that beyond the window of 2018, only a few manufacturers release devices on the current versions of the operating system.
Battery– at least 5000 mAh. A constant connection to the mobile Internet leads to an active consumption of battery power. Therefore, if you want the tablet to not “beg for an outlet” for at least a few hours, you should choose devices with a battery of at least 5000 mAh. But the battery for 6000-7000 mAh and above is enough for the whole day of active use.
Volume random access memory – at least 2 GB. Web pages displayed on the tablet screen are stored in RAM. In addition, this "temporary storage" is used by the operating system itself and running applications. As a result, if there is not enough RAM, the tablet can slow down, freeze and simply “fail”. The “minimum viable” amount of RAM for internet use in tablets in 2018 is 2 GB. And smooth operation without freezes is achieved only on devices equipped with 3-4 GB.
ROM size– at least 16 GB. Everything is stored in permanent memory (aka “internal storage”): the actual operating system, which, depending on the intensity of modifications, can take up 3-8 GB of space; user-installed applications; different photos, music, downloaded data and much, much more. Therefore, a lot of permanent memory is required for the device to work properly. At least 16 GB - and then this drive will have to be cleaned periodically. Better, of course, 32 or 64 GB internal memory.
Other characteristics and manufacturers. Other characteristics can be selected based on your needs. Mobile photography enthusiasts will need a tablet with a good camera; wishing to watch online films and just videos - with a high-resolution screen; those who are used to carrying their entire media library with them - with support for MicroSD memory cards from 64 GB. Speaking of manufacturers, four companies can be distinguished - Huawei and Lenovo in the budget price segment; Samsung is in the middle and Apple is in the top.

For all operators cellular communication There are specialized tariffs that are designed to be used only on tablets. It is understandable: demand creates supply. Let's try together to choose the Internet for a tablet: which one is better in 2018?
We went through the sites of mobile operators and collected several offers. Let's talk about the nuances of using tariffs for a tablet, and also figure out who has the most profitable internet in tablet format.
Internet for a tablet: what are the features?
To begin with, let's say a few words about how the tariff intended "for a tablet" differs from the usual tariff for a mobile phone.
- The "tablet" tariff is designed for the fact that the SIM card will be used for surfing the Internet, and not for calls. Therefore, minutes packages are not connected to it. mobile communications and SMS.
- As for the Internet, for a tablet it is paid according to traffic: a gigabyte package of a certain volume is connected to the SIM card. As a rule, it varies from 7 to 30 GB.
- In addition, on “tablet” tariffs, it is possible to connect unlimited Internet for certain services - instant messengers, social networks, YouTube, TV viewing. The range of offers varies greatly from operator to operator.
The best rates for internet on a tablet
What conclusion can be drawn from this? The profitability of an Internet tariff for a tablet is determined by two factors: how much does a gigabyte of Internet cost and how many unlimited options can be connected to the tariff. Let's see what they offer us mobile operators: from the most advantageous to the most disadvantageous offer. Prices are in Moscow.
Yota for tablet
Price per GB: 19.6 rubles
And we will not start with the “big three” at all: the cheapest “tablet” tariff in Russia is currently offered by Yota. Within the tariff "Yota for tablet" you can get 30 GB Internet for 590 rubles per month.
The tariff itself is quite tasty: it works on the principle of a constructor. Depending on your preference, you can connect 0 or 500 minutes of calls 7, 15 or 30 GB Internet, as well as a number of unlimited options:
Empirically (in the picture above), we have collected the best tariff for a tablet from the point of view of an average user from Moscow and the region. No calls (there is a phone for calls), but a lot of gigabytes, music, social networks, instant messengers and, of course, YouTube. He cost us 750 rubles per month. There is only one disadvantage of this proposal: Yota has a small coverage area.
Internet M
Price per GB: 25 rubles
Megafon offers a rich line of Internet options for the tablet. Several of these options are Internet S, M, L And XL- available on the tariff "Megafon-Online". Depending on the selected option, you can connect for your tablet:
- 7, 18, 25 or 30 GB internet + unlimited internet at night (for option XL);
- unlimited internet for navigation services, email, cloud storage, social networks, music and video (for option S - only the first three);
- access to content Megafon-TV.
The middle version of this line is Internet M. 18 GB of traffic, all unlimited options, as well as 1 movie and 50+ TV channels from the Megafon-TV collection — all this will go to the user for 450 rubles per month. But calls on the Megafon-Online tariff are not available in principle - although, perhaps, it is for the best.
Megafon has another tablet tariff - "Internet without worries for a tablet". A SIM card with this particular tariff will most likely be inserted into your iPad,.
The meaning of its existence is not fully understood. The essence of the tariff is that you are given a tiny limit in 600 MB Internet per month - but completely free.
Every day you can spend 20 MB, after which paid packages are connected to you by 150 MB cost 20 rubles every. The number of connected packages is not limited. In a word, everything looks like a well-veiled game on the technical illiteracy of tablet users - after all, recently they are becoming more and more popular among the older generation.
Everything 2 for tablet
Price per GB: 31.5 rubles
In third place in terms of price is the tariff from the "striped" operator. Within the tariff "Everything 2 for tablet" Beeline gives subscribers 19 GB Internet for a fixed monthly fee 600 rubles per month.
In addition, within the framework of the tariff, you can free of charge and without restrictions:
It is impossible to connect a package of free minutes, SMS too. One minute of a call and an SMS from a Beeline "tablet" tariff will cost the same 2 rubles in the home region. The offer, in a word, is quite poor, although relatively cheap. Another caveat is that the offer is not available in all regions.
Internet in a tablet from Tele2
Price per GB: 33.2 rubles
The young operator Tele2 also offers a fairly good, compared to Beeline, Internet option for a tablet - which one is better, you decide. As part of the service "Internet to tablet" from Tele2 15 GB internet will cost you 499 rubles per month.
In addition to this, the operator offers its own range of interesting unlimited options:
In addition, the balance of unused traffic for the month is transferred to the next month. Fireproof gigabytes is a Tele2 branded promotion that no other operator offers.
The service is available upon activation of the tariff "Internet for Devices". One call and one SMS within this tariff will cost 1.8 rubles, respectively. Connection of packages of minutes and messages is not available.
SIMPLE INTERNET on a tablet
Price per GB: 33.2 rubles
Rostelecom, known as a provider broadband internet, has been selling SIM cards for a long time and has its own mobile tariffs. On two such tariff plans - "SUPER SIM FREE" And "For the Internet" option available SIMPLE INTERNET on a tablet.
As part of the tariff, users do not receive anything special - just 15 GB Internet traffic for 499 rubles per month. Like Tele2, whose capacities are used by Rostelecom, now you will see that their tariffs, in general, are no different.
Internet use is not charged in the social networks Vkontakte, Facebook and Odnoklassniki, as well as when using Yandex.Maps and Yandex.Navigator. The remaining unused gigabytes are carried over to the next month.
At the end of the 15 GB package, you can buy one of three additional ones - 500 MB for 50 rubles, 3 GB for 150 rubles or 5 GB for 250 rubles. Really, it's just the internet.
MTS for tablet
Price per GB: 55 rubles
Worst of all with mobile Internet for a tablet from the "red" operator. In the case of MTS, Internet tariffs are prohibitively high. Behind 550 rubles in a month you will receive 10 GB Internet on a tablet is a sad picture.
In addition to this, the operator offers to choose one of the unlimited options, which will be included free of charge in the "For tablet" tariff:
You can add only one option for free - you will have to pay for the second 75 rubles per month (and for MTS-TV - all 150). One call and one SMS - 1.5 rubles, respectively. And if you spend your 10 GB ahead of schedule, the operator will automatically connect you additional package for 500 MB, and will not hesitate to charge 95 rubles for it.
In a word, MTS only excuses the fact that he has, which, in general, no one bothers to use on a tablet. By the way, other operators too. Check out our selection and choose your mobile Internet for your tablet - you already know which operator is better.
Probably, all owners of mobile computer devices have thought more than once about which provider they should choose to connect to the Internet. After all, in addition to the price of services and connection speed, a significant role in the choice is played by the territorial coverage of the network. Therefore, this issue needs to be approached comprehensively.
So, let's determine which communication service provider is the most profitable for working on the Internet through a tablet.
The main characteristics when choosing a provider
To begin with, let's outline the main characteristics of the provider that is most convenient for connecting to the Internet via mobile devices:
- the amount of the tariff;
- connection speed;
- packet traffic;
- network coverage.
Only given at the same time so different factors, you can choose the best provider for yourself.
Naturally, if there is no network coverage of a particular operator in your area of residence, then all other factors automatically cease to be significant. At the same time, you should try to choose a service provider that, in addition to your area of residence, covers the maximum area with its coverage.
Connection speed also plays a significant role in choosing an operator. It is unlikely that, having a modern tablet, you will be satisfied with the Internet based on conventional GPRS technology. Therefore, you need to make sure that the selected provider at least supports 3G technology.
Packet traffic is also very important factor when choosing tariff plan. It makes no sense to overpay for unused traffic, but at the same time it is very unpleasant when the traffic limit ends in the middle of the month.
Here you need to look for the golden mean. And even then, with all the others equal conditions, you need to pay attention to the rates of access to the World Wide Web.
Why should rates be the last thing to pay attention to? Firstly, as mentioned above, if the operator does not have coverage in your area, then its services, even at the cheapest rate, will be useless.
Second, now on the market mobile networks quite high competition, and operators try to keep approximately equal prices for services. In any case, they do not differ significantly.
Thirdly, tariffs are constantly changing, and if today one provider provided services at the lowest price, then tomorrow it may be a completely different service provider. But, as mentioned above, these changes are unlikely to be significant, and switching to a new operator due to a price reduction of several tens of rubles is not very rational.
What tariff to choose?
Nevertheless, the question still remains, which tariff and which operator to choose? Of course, all other things being equal, you need to choose the provider with the lowest cost of services. Indeed, it is not known how the price will change in the future, so you need to proceed from the data that is available at the time of connection.
You can find out what tariffs for tablets are in effect with communication service providers today, either by dialing the appropriate number on the operator's internal communication, or through the official services of these providers on the Internet.
The most attractive rates for today are presented in the table.
On the this moment the most loyal tariff plans for the Internet for tablets from MTS, Beeline and Megafon operators. Moreover, the latter has the lowest price per unit of traffic. But it is not certain that the situation will not change in the near future.
A complex approach
Of course, when choosing an Internet package for a tablet, all factors must be taken into account in a comprehensive manner. At the same time, the cost of the tariff plan should not be decisive. It is much more important to choose the most convenient and acceptable package for you.
The buyer immediately after purchasing the tablet thinks about connecting it to the Internet. Most often, the connection occurs at the same point of sale where the tablet was purchased - the buyer simply does not want to spend time analyzing alternatives. However, is it worth it to hurry when, by choosing the cheapest internet for a tablet, you can save a lot in the long run? It is necessary to consider what options the four most popular operators offer.
Tele2 offers a tariff that has a simple but understandable name "Internet for devices". The option is universal and is suitable for both modems and tablets. Under the terms of the tariff, the user is given 15 GB of traffic for a month, after which the speed drops to 64 Kbps - no additional conditions are provided. You have to pay only 295 rubles per month (depending on the region, the price may vary).
An alternative option from Tele2 for less active users is "Internet to tablet". For a desktop computer, this service is no longer suitable, since the traffic level is low - only 2 GB, however, the price is quite democratic - only 99 rubles per month.
There is no doubt that Tele2 guarantees the cheapest Internet, however, according to reviews, the quality of services leaves much to be desired. The operator is still "raw", therefore, before buying the Internet from Tele2, it is better to consult with the actual users of the services of this operator.
The MTS Tablet tariff is currently in great demand among tablet owners, which is not surprising: the tariff has many advantages. Mainly the tariff is suitable for amateurs active rest and travel, as unlimited internet operates throughout Russia. Another advantage is the “Mobile TV” option included in the price, where more than 70 channels of various directions are presented (for ordinary users, this service costs 8 rubles a day). Watching programs through Mobile TV is not charged, so the user can significantly save on traffic.
The price of the kit is low: for 4 GB it is proposed to pay 400 rubles per month per month.
Which Internet Beeline is better for a tablet in 2015?
Beeline is most pleased with the abundance of promotions that are offered to tablet buyers. According to the current promotion, anyone who purchases a gadget in the official salon receives 10 GB of traffic as a gift, which is spent within 3 months. Another benefit of Beeline is the “Internet forever” option, which makes it possible to use 200 Mb of traffic for free (!) Monthly for indefinitely. However, 200 MB with modern volumes of information is crumbs, so you need to consider more serious options:
|
Name and traffic |
Highway 4 GB |
Highway 8 GB |
Highway 12 GB |
Highway 20 GB |
|
Price |
1200 |
As you can see, the cost is comparable to the Internet from MTS, however, Beeline does not limit users to one tariff option. The most expedient is the connection of the service with 12 GB of traffic for 700 rubles, since large quantity The tablet hardly needs traffic. It should be noted that the prices are relevant for Moscow - the regions have to pay less.
When connecting the Highway option, the “Internet Forever” service does not go away, so the user gets a nice addition in the form of 200 MB.

At the moment, Megafon is the only operator that offers the option of mobile Internet without traffic restrictions. In addition, Megafon boasts a coverage area - the modems of this operator operate almost everywhere.
The most profitable Internet service for international roaming is offered by Beeline. For 200 rubles of a subscription fee per day, 40 MB are given. However, there is a minus - this service is not valid in all countries, so compliance must be clarified on the website.
Megafon also offers Internet for a tablet abroad, but here the price for 30 MB, depending on the country, can reach 4990 rubles, so this service cannot be called profitable.
So, the choice of which Internet for a tablet is better in 2015/2016 remains with the subscriber - it is necessary to choose based on individual requests.
