Hi supa150, congratulations on the new tablet and welcome to the forum. I'm moving your question to the WonderMedia Based section where the folks who have tablets like yours are more likely to see it.

Tap the 3G icon or go to Settings and select add 3G network. Select device and see if your model is supported. In my WM8650, the ZTE brand is not supported.

AFAIK, basically that's how you setup your modem but using a supported model.

The Huwawei modems should work in the UK as they use GSM and have the same 900/1800 bandwidths. The other modems listed in the WM8650 are CDMA based and are not compatible with GSM (obviously). Also read from other resellers that there are no workarounds for ZTE modems to work with the WM8650.

PS not familiar with services in the UK so I can't help you there. Borrow SIM cards if you can.
