There is wifi connection, I think you would have to buy a different Fujitsu tablet (one that comes with broadband/internet connection card on it) to get the 3G you're looking for. I think if the card doesn't come with it, you can't add it later on as aftermarket so you have to look into buying an external hotspot device or you can try tethering your cell phone to it if your cell phone provider allows for such thing. You can always call Fujitsu customer service and provide them with the model number of the fujitsu you want to buy and they can clarify for you if a 3 G connection is possible. They may have in stock a tablet model that can do more (probably Android and not Windows operating system) of what you want. I know that Fujitsu had a selection, a model just like this one but with an internet/broadband card, and newer sleeker tablets that are Android operating systems.

I called the Support line, they have no idea when they're going to get their shipment of the GT Wifi. If this was a Samsung trick to sell more 3G tabs, it doesn't make sense that they would be available at other stores. I'm sending a message to Amazon: Make sure you hound your suppliers to ensure you have a product at its launch date. I'm "voting with my dollars". Amazon just earned Tigerdirect.com $350.

In order to be connected to the internet you have to have wifi available and have the wifi turned on the tablet. The tablet is 3g enabled as long as you have internet.

In the usa, T-Mobile still(05.2015) offers a data plan where you pay $15 once for the SIM card, then you get 200MB/month for life FREE, no-contract, and you can buy data as you need it; 500MB/1 day $5; 1GB/1 week, $10; 3GB/30 days $30; 5GB/30 days $40; I believe I have the pricing correct. If you aren't a data hog, you can go all month of emailing with the Free 200MB, sweet. I have these in some 3G iPads and works awesome. I love T-Mobi and am kissing AT-T's A$$ goodbye.

No 3G version at all. Also, there is no SIM card, it takes a microSD card. I would spend my money on another tablet instead of this one because I own one and it likes to freeze constantly.

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.

You do not have to have a contract to use the Samsung Galaxy...it is Wi-fi ONLY. I have Wi-fi at home, so I can use it here, but often I just pick up the service wherever I am (grocery store, coffee shops, other people's houses, etc.). The battery life isn't awesome, but I have yet to run out of battery when I haven't been around a power outlet. That's a perk to it being wifi only. If you get wi-fi, more than likely, there is an outlet around.

Yes, for anything 3G/4G LTE, etc, you always have to have a contract for service through a carrier such as Verizon in this case. To my knowledge there are no contract free WiFi devices, other than possibly a pre-paid device from cricket, etc.

have a galaxy tab 3 to use on a Parrot A.R. Drone 2.0. Also bought a GPS. Have not tried it yet but need to know if I have the correct equipment to go ahead? The tab 3 is NOT a phone, just a tablet!?

It is 2g phone tablet Support wireless access to get Internet anywhere covered by Wi-Fi hot spots . it does require sim card in order to make out going call or receive incoming call but it will not access to internet by using your own 3g data from sim card .

Well, all i can say is i have 4g wifi and it works super! I have 2 other tablets and of all three this is my favorite! I hope you can find the answer you are looking for... Goodluck!

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.

Dear Passan, The 3G Freequencies in UK are 1900-1980 MHz, 2010-2025 MHz, and 2110-2170 MHz. I don't know if the carriers outside UK (btw:if you are buying from any carrier, ask them before) lock any of these Freequencies, but the Supported ones by The Samung Galaxy Tab 10.1 I are 850/900/1900/2100 MHz, so the 3G should work on UK.

No this tablet does not have 3G built-in. However, you can get a hotspot device or use a smartphone mobile hotspot.

You can use it over Wi-Fi regardless which one you get, but not all are not capable with Verizon 4G or 3G depending on your area. The difference is the hardware. In order to get one that can use wireless service, you should buy one from Verizon despite they are more expensive. Check out Radio Hospital Lima, Ohio and call them. Google it. They just might be able to hook you up with one for $250. They have only 2, but nobody is really looking at them. Tablets don't sell in the area that fast. This is as of 6/24/2013.
