Community Power UserIf your boyfriend is in camp and has no need for cellular, then don't put a SIM in it. You won't be charged for any celluar data as long as there is no SIM. The tablet will function like any old wifi tablet instead. If you purchased the tablet through Telus and did NOT purchase a cell plan for it, then all you'd be paying for is just the tablet itself.

Unfortunately I've never set up one of those tablets before so I am unsure. You may need to check with support or Samsung. I imagine there should be a way to skip that part. If not the only thing I can think of is temporarily moving your tablet SIM to the new one just for the setup process only.
