Q: Does the 16 GB model save a sim slot? There are 2 answers, YES And NO, which is correct?

A: No it does not have a SIM ( Subscriber Identity Module) slot (sense it's not a phone) it does however have a Micro SD (secure digital memory) slot to expand memory up to 128 gigabyte

Q: does it come with a charger

A: Yes. Cord and charger, both very good too.

Q: Is there a monthly fee to allow you access to google etc. If you have wifi access

A: No, the Google Play Store and all its services are free. You can download it for free thru an app call ES File Explorer. Download it first thru the Amazon Store, then use it to get the entire Google play store and all else for free. It's way better than the very limited Amazon App Store. Go to YouTube and look up Gadgetsxray videos, and he gives step by step as to how to do this. I've done it for about 11 of these tablets and all are fine, better actually, and it's a breeze to do. If you have wifi in your home or go places where free wifi is, it costs nothing to be on Google.

A: This will work with compatible printers.

Q: Does one use this as a phone too? If so, an I Phone? Does it have a back light for reading my Kindle Books at night?

A: You can use as a wifi phone with an app but it is not set up as a phone and he's the screen is lit so you can use at night

Q: Does this have a camera?

A: Both Front and Rear BUT Neither Is High Quality

Q: Why would it just stop working, just turned off and will not turn back on even when connected to charger. Was working fine.

A: This happens to my kids' a lot. Hold down the power button for 20 seconds, let go, and then push it again and that always works for us.
