A second mobile provider in the United Kingdom has been confirmed to be supplying the Galaxy Tab to eager customers. No date has been provided for the release, but we do have some monthly pricing to provide you all with:
Three voice packages:
- SIM10: £10 a month including 100 any network minutes, 2000 Three-to-Three minutes, 3000 texts and 1GB data
- SIM15: £15 a month including 300 any network minutes, 2000 Three-to-Three minutes, 3000 texts and 1GB data
Monthly data only packages:

- 5GB data for £15
Data customers are able to make calls and send text with their data SIM at 10p per text, 10p to call Three mobile or landlines and 25p to other networks.
This is very exciting news. I think that Three have provided some very reasonable pricing plans for the Galaxy Tab. The only thing that is not mentioned in these pricing details is how much the device will cost itself. This is the same situation we have seen with Vodafone UK.
Hopefully we will get some more information from Three regarding the Galaxy Tab soon. In the mean time here is the full press release below:
