    Depends on the SIM if it will fit — but the data will remain on the phone and you can't make normal calls using a tablet.

    When you say you have "have loads of data on it too" are you talking about data stored on your phone or are you talking about the package you are on from your provider?

    Use the "personal hotspot" and you can use the data on your tablet

    I use an EzCast dongle in the back of my Tv.
    I think the Google Chrome stick does the same.

    My phone screen appears on the TV.

    Ok you might look at bit odd going out carrying a TV, but maybe at home this would help.

    It will also mirror your phone screen to a laptop, or tablet.

    yes turn on the portable hotspot function on your phone and then connect laptop/ipad to it as if it were a wi-fi network. OR get the guy in the phone shop to do it for you...

    Just stick the sim into an ipad or something similar.
