My husband has a Samsung Galaxy Tab S8 Ultra with a sim only plan from Plusnet - which uses the EE network
Plusnet mobile is closing, so he has to find an alternative
He has been told by Three, on more than one occasion, that he can only have a data only Sim for the tablet
- and that he would need a separate Sim for a phone
However, yesterday we put my Three Sim in the Samsung Galaxy tablet and were able to:
1) make a phone call
2) access the internet over the 5g service
So it seems that a Three sim will provide all the services that other sims provide, and that there is no restriction
We're looking for advice / help / experiences related to this
For example, if he signs up for a Three sim, will he find either the phone service or data service stops working after a while
Thanks for reading and any suggestions or advice gratefully received

I had a 3 SIM in my mobile router for 2 years and works OK 🙂
Still with them for my 2 phones, and use id Mobile sim on my router, as they offer better £.

Hi @karen8,
Sorry for any misunderstanding there. When we supply a tablet we do so with a data only plan, however most Android tablets do have the same functionality as an Android phone. I think our reps may be confusing the plans we supply with tablets, rather than the actual capabilities of the device you mentioned.
If you already have the tablet I don't see any issues with popping a Three phone SIM only in there, as long as the tablet isn't network locked to another provider.
Hope this helps,
Jonathan
