Android is the operating system, much like Microsoft windows is the operating system on PC's.

Must say its a brand I've not heard of before, can you post a link up to it.

Quite possible that you have purchased a WIFI only tablet, and as there is no 3G connectivity you won't have a sim card slot.

So according to those auctions the device only has Wifi connectivity, you can't put a sim card in it to use mobile networks.

If you want mobile data I suggest the only option will be eith the Vodafone or 3 myfi devices that use the 3G networks to transmit a wifi signal.

How does it feel in terms of performance? It has a very slow cpu onboard. How is the video playback? Web browsing touch screen responsiveness etc.

I do have to say there is better out there for the money you paid.

Its a flytouch3 clone. It does not have built in 3g however with one of the custom ROM on the APAD site you may be able to get a 3g dongle working with it if you want internet while you are out and about.

Another option would be a mifi router or setting up a hotspot on your phone if it supports it.
