1341455 2013-05-15 10:33:00 Hi. I have a vigo android 7" screen. The manual says that it will operate with a 3G dongle. Does anybody know if it will operate with a 4G dongle. If so, what trick do I have to do to make this work. Thanking anyone in advance for your help. Ed FalconEddy (17081)

1341458 2013-05-15 12:36:00 3G Compatible - The VIGO tablets are compatible with most 3G Dongles available on the market that are compatible with Android 4.0. (No 3G Dongle is supplied with the unit)

1341459 2013-05-15 17:42:00 Hi Ed,

In a nutshell it has to do with the built-in driver support by Android-4.0 Ice Cream Sandwich in general, more on the "USB" side of it, rather than the "4G LTE" side of it. There's semi-decent support for a variety of 3G Dongles, but I honestly don't know of any 4G LTE USB Dongles specifically that work. That's not to say that they won't though, and it doesn't specifically matter that 4G LTE may not have been common around the time that ICS was released.

Here's what I would suggest:
Try a 3G Dongle, make sure you're familiar with how that works, and then see if you can go in to somewhere like a Vodafone store and see if they'll let you test with a demo 4G Dongle. Going by what I've seen and used myeslf with 3G Dongles, you may well be very surprised!

Good luck!
