Re: Galaxy Tab 3 7" Is it a good tablet????

I should have mine by Tuesday and as a former user of the ipad mini, if you want to do more with a tablet, then I don't think you will be disappointed. I sold my Mini after 4 months to get the original Galaxy Note 10.1. No regrets there. So I'm sure you will be happy if you want to do more with a tab than what iOS allows you.

I agree! :thumbup::cool:

Wait, so you got the Wi-Fi version?
You know we're talking about the Sprint version here, right?
The one with 3G and 4G LTE.

Re: Galaxy Tab 3 7" Is it a good tablet????

I got the Sprint Tab 3 the first week and had it a month. Ended up for a week stay in the hospital and will first few I couldn't sit with my laptop so it was my connection. This is no Nexus 7 or an iPad Air but for $50 up front and the $15 GB a month which to me is not going to lunch a few days a month, to say it is a bargain it is an understatement.

I have one that I got for the $49 deal right before we left for the beach last week. I have say that I love it. also, after the first month of paying $15, you can lower it to the $5 plan. I've also read that you can you can use it as a phone.....?

Yes, in another thread someone suggested talkatone from the play store. I've used it already and works pretty good off your Google Voice number, if you have one. :thumbup::cool:

I understand that also magic jack will work, I have magic jack at home, I'll test it tomorrow.

Re: Galaxy Tab 3 7" Is it a good tablet????

Ive had mine for a month and honestly I love this thing! Its not a high wnd tablet but being able to check emails on job sites & keep the kids entertained (quiet) in the car is well worth $15 a month. At $50 you cannot beat this tablet. I can leave the data on my phone turned off and save battery life. Im out of the house and office 12+ hours a day so evry little bit helps .

Ah sorry i misread. On my s3 contract i get 1gb data per month i added an extra GB which i pay ?2 extra. Contract is unlimited calls/texts 2gb data ?39 per month.

Im quite glad you posted. I brought 2 tabs for both of my kids to,as you put it,"keep them entertained". I did not want to spend a fortune on 2 tabs so this for me was a good option.
they are ?159 each and wifi only. Lots of people are slating these tabs due to lack of space,but for the price i wasnt expecting much. Kids will use it for ligth gaming you tube and kindles. Music and photos will be directed to sd cards so it doesnt pull on the remaining GB left on the device. I have over 70 apps on my s3 and its only taken a little over 1gb on my phone so i am not worried about it
So i am glad you like it and your kids enjoy it i sure hope my kids do as well. :D

No problems so far. :thumbup::cool:

It's mostly used by my kids for YouTube and some games.

Soon I'll be trying to put some videos into a SD card so they can watch them on the go without using data.
