Tap Apps > Settings > Wireless & networks > Mobile networks to adjust your
network settings. You can turn the data connection on or off when roaming,
restrict the connection to 2G networks only, specify a network operator and
define access point names.
Selecting a network
Your tablet will automatically detect your carrier/network settings when you
insert a new SIM card. However, you may prefer to manually select a network.
This is often a good idea when roaming.

reduce your roaming charges. Check with your service provider for the
network offering the most competitive rates at your destination.
