Did you ever solve this Gary? I too am wondering about this. The data only sims are more expensive than the voice sims, and offer less data for the prices

    Hi ben1 GaryJef_1776247 

    YES, you can use a ‘normal’ phone sim within a tablet, I do this with my iPad Mini 6.

    It works absolutely fine.

    ben1 I agree that it is quite difficult to see the benefit in having a data only plan. 

    I am not aware that a voice plan sim won't work in a device - it's always possible to hot spot from a phone to the device in any case.
