Data Plans

[tcat007]

OK, I'm thinking of buying a Galaxy Tab 7 Plus, or Mediapad (Springboard), and wondered what the lowest cost data plan is out there? Can data plans be bought by any provider and used on any tablet? I don't care about cell coverage, just 3G or 4G data on the tablet while away from wifi. I'm thinking 1-2 gb will be more than adequate. I'm thinking AT&T at $25 for 2gb night be the lowest, but I haven't looked that hard yet. Pros and Cons of any particular provider?

I'm currently on VM $25 unlimited with 3.2" screen. Just too small for my eyes. Am using less than 1 gb per month on mobile.

No, you can not go to any carrier with any tablet and expect to get service.

Because tablets have to use the same cell service that phones do, so CDMA / GSM still matters. Basebands also matter, which means a GSM model may or may not work for T-Mo or AT&T.

Best to surf the carrier webpages and see what is available.
