Latest updates on Galaxy Tabs from the US and various global locations
In the rapidly evolving world of technology, US Cellular has made a significant move by announcing unique data plans tailored for the Samsung Galaxy Tab. These plans, classified under "Tablet Plans" or "Connected Device (Hotspot) Plans", offer a range of benefits designed to cater specifically to tablet data needs.
One of the standout features is an unlimited data plan, offering a high-speed data cap of 100GB per month. After this limit, speeds are throttled to 3G speeds. The plan also includes 5G access, ensuring fast and reliable connectivity for Galaxy Tab users.
Moreover, US Cellular's plans come without overage charges or data rollover, providing peace of mind for users. Domestic roaming is supported, although international roaming is not available. To activate these plans, a device purchase from US Cellular is required. The plans are monthly, with unspecified line limits.
In contrast to the big four national carriers in the US, US Cellular will be the first to offer the Galaxy Tab. The tablet, featuring a 7-inch touchscreen, 1 GHz Hummingbird processor, twin camera setup, access to the Android Market and Samsung Media Hub, and running on Android 2.2 (upgradeable to Gingerbread and Honeycomb), will be available in US Cellular stores and USCellular.com starting November 19.
US Cellular's Belief Project allows users to sign a 2-year contract only once and avoid renewing it after the initial 2 years, providing flexibility for customers.
AT&T, another major player in the market, has also announced plans for the Galaxy Tab. The tablet will go on sale starting November 21, priced at $649.99. AT&T is offering a Media Hub Movie Rental credit worth $50 with every purchase of the AT&T Galaxy Tab. The carrier offers Pay-As-You-Go data plans, priced at $14.99 for 250 MB of data and $24.99 for 2 GB of data. All AT&T data plan users will have access to the carrier's national Wi-Fi network.
In India, several telecom companies are offering attractive data plans for the Galaxy Tab. Reliance Mobile offers 5 GB of free data usage every month for 6 months, while TATA Docomo offers 3 GB of free data usage every month for the same period. Aircel offers 3 GB of free data usage per month for 3 months to Prepaid users, and 1 GB of free data every month for 6 months to Postpaid users. Prepaid Vodafone users will pay Rs. 99 for 2 GB of data usage every month, while Postpaid users will pay Rs. 199 for the same amount of data. Airtel offers 2GB of free data usage for Rs. 300 per month over 6 months.
However, details about the launch and cost of the Galaxy Tab in Pakistan are yet to be disclosed. Samsung has confirmed the launch on November 20th, but no further information about partnerships or pricing has been revealed.
