Thank you Bob, but I would use it in the middle of Uganda. If there was wifi when I go, I would not be needing the SIM.
I want sim for Africa and wifi for North America.
Google for me (in the Netherlands) finds a lot of hits (including shops) for 3G TABLET and 4G TABLET. But they don't tell if they are compatible with the 3G and 4G offered in the middle of Uganda. So I'm afraid your best move would be to buy it there.

The UGLY truth is that the cellular radio may be incompatible in one or more locations. So again I'll share how my buddies fixed this. They get their laptop/tablet as they want then get the cell phone to provide the wifi hot spot for the last link.
Now I could guess you might be new to all this and I understand that. But my buddies went through the pain of learning so you could save yourself the pain.
