using 3g for data with this tablet: Can you get a month-to-month data only plan from a verizon or at&amp;t store and use it with this device?

I believe most carriers (cellular) will allow you to add unlimited data plans for an additional fee per month. The cable company, Time Warner Cable is reselling Clearwire's service in some areas, for just about the same price as Clear.

Even though the data plan is 4G i believe the tablet only supports 3G. My S5 on TMO has full 4G LTE bars while the tablet switches between H(2G) and 3G. WiFi seems week as well. Basically I think the internal antennas on these are week in general. Also I had issues getting the 200mb data to work so I contacted TMO and they put me on the 1GB data plan free for the rest of the year. They said it will drop back to 200mb next year.

No data plan is required by Verizon. Verizon is my carrier. I signed up to pay an extra five bucks a month over the cell phone service so I could send up to several hundred texts a month, but no data plan, unless you were going to use this phone to browse the internet or something like that, but I would not advise that.

Choose one of Cingular's data plans that fits closest to your usage (all of the plans are fairly pricey). If you only want data service, I know for a fact you can to do so at a Cingular store. It may be possible through Amazon, but I haven't attempted to do so. Beware that Cingular stores currently offer this device for $399.99 w/2 yr agreement, versus Amazon's excellent $199 price.

Take a look at the descriptions of 3G on Apple's website: http://store.apple.com/us/browse/home/shop_ipad/family/ipad?mco=OTY2ODA0NQ#AT&T; 3G plans are all month-to-month and can be subscribed to or cancelled directly from Ipad.

I just recently purchased this phone from Amazon and am on AT&T. So far I've been using the phone for a month and it hasn't detected it as a smartphone only because its not in their system, so no $30 data plan. I think this phone should be fine without the data plan unless you call up AT&T and tell them your phone is a smartphone. However, I also spoke with an AT&T representative and he said all smartphones, AT&T branded or unlocked, will be charged the $30/month data plan regardless.

You can only use what is downloaded to the tablet without a wifi connection otherwise you have to purchase a data plan. Hope this was helpful! Let me know if I can help you with anything else!

No Jin, until now, I was unable to unlock the 3G from ATT. I live in Brazil and Im using an external 3G modem to connect. I hope I can find a way to unlock it, Samsung said it is not up to them, ATT said they do not unlock tablets, only mobile phones. I wasn't aware of that...

I'm not sure it is compatible with any provider, att could not get it to use the 4g provided, it would only use 1 source & it was the slowest internet out there, unbarably slow, plus it's not a real note 3, it's a knock off & it's smaller

AT&T; will add a data plan when you activate any smartphone. EVEN IF you don't activate it with them. Hope that helps.

I wish I could help! My Access tablet Died 2 weeks ago. I received it in Jul 13. One adult user. Think they have many quirks, buy 4G card.

Yes it will. I do not use mine with 3G and as an AT&T; rep you can hook any tablet up just using wifi, it is just telling you it is capable of doing 3G if you pay for the service.

Hey, this is PriceAngels. This tablet support 2G network by AT&T and T-mobile (data: gprs or edge), it is unlocked. For 3G network network, I am afraid it doesn't support 1900MHz, it supports just 2100MHz.

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

You will need to contact Verizon wireless to purchase a data plan for the device. They are around $10.00 per month

No cellular service works with this tablet directly but you can connect USB aircard or air dongle to it for use.The Unlocked GSM units or units working with cellular services are called 3G tablets.

If you buying an unlocked retail version E63, you shouldn't worry about that. Just remind to set the handset always ask you before connect to a data package plan. You can control and choose the connection point between 3G data plan, GPRS, and WIFI as you wish. I tried that on T mobile and Att, no problem.
