When setting up your Nexus, always connect to a Wi Fi network first as there are large updates to the Android O/S and many updates to your apps.Once you get past the Wi FI setup your data card should work.Nexus phone's and tablets are great as you get the latest Android updates over the air and do not have to root the device to get Android 4.4

Not sure which Nexus you got, but I assume it would be the Nexus 7. pcdoc is correct, the device firmware is set to start updating all the apps and firmware when it starts up the first time. There is no way to prevent this unless you don't connect to a wifi (or set up wifi when you start). At startup, there must be an option to skip the wi-fi connection when you start. Wifi is not a requirement to get the device going for the first time. If you struggle, just enter a fictitious SSID and password. It should tell you it can't connect and then just skip.

When you get past this initial setup - switch off auto updates to prevent data surprises especially when on 3G. OOB rates are nothing to sneeze at and the device might do some serious updates especially at setup. You can also go into every app and switch off auto updates depending on your needs. I do that especially for Google Play Store

From inside the device after setup, you can easily switch between wifi and 3G with either the pulldown menu or from system settings

Maybe try going to a McDonalds or Wimpy...free wifi?
Could be the fastest way to get around this.

Um, just skip the wifi connection?? Which Nexus is it? Pretty sure you can skip it on all of them.

Also take out the SIM card the first time, then disable automatic updates, then put the SIM back in, easy peasy.

I went to Vodacom and they helped BUT it worked LTE and then after my data ran out it keeps saying not network connection its the 2nd August and I have 500M every month and it still keeps saying no network connection. I took out the sim put it back in etc. I am registered with the network because I used the device so don't know what the problem is. By the way you guys I truly intelligent and helpful thank you so much for help.
