To begin with, you require to know the difference in between the technologies such as, CDMA (Code Division Many Access) and GSM (International System for Mobile Communications). Understanding the difference will allow you to pick a carrier that makes use of the preferable network technologies for your desires. CDMA is a radio access technology refers to the term CDMA2000 and also refers to CDMA EV-DO (Evolution-Data Optimized). U.S. Cellular, Sprint and Verizon use CDMA with the following functions:

• CDMA 3G networks are held back by their inability to use voice and data services simultaneously.
  
• EV-DO Rev. B has the prospective for high download speeds, but present 3G networks on EV-DO Rev. A only typical about 1 Mbps downloads.
  
• Offers general slower speeds.
  
• In the U.S. demand proprietary hardware that is linked to 1 carrier only.

GSM is the world's most popular regular for mobile technologies with more than 2 billion users and is the dominant 2G digital common. AT&T and T-Mobile use GSM with the following characteristics:

The differences between the 5 carriers of the Galaxy Tab (AT&T, Sprint, T-Mobile, U.S. Cellular, and Verizon) are largely in pricing, service plans and pre-loaded software program. Out of the 5 carriers, U.S. Cellular is the only carrier that does not have its personal apps included on the device.

As for information plans, T-Mobile has set its rates in a way that tends to make its Galaxy Tab stand out from the crowd. T-Mobile and Verizon have the least expensive price per GB, but T-Mobile's plan is half the value (and information transfer) of Verizon's.
