Does Samsung have too many unsold tablets lying around? That certainly seems to be the case, as after Woot, who's giving away numerous Galaxy Tabs on a discount, AT&T launched an offer as well – anyone who buys a Galaxy S4, S4 Active, Note II, or Note 3 on a new two-year contract this holiday season will get a free 7-inch Galaxy Tab 3. You'll be able to add the tablet to an existing Mobile Share plan for $10 more per month, or get a separate data plan if you choose.
The deal will be available both online and in retail stores, and kicks off from today itself. Hit the break for the press release from AT&T.
AT&T* today announced it is launching a pair of exclusive offers to kick off the holiday shopping season. Beginning Wednesday, Oct. 30, customers can receive a free 7-inch Samsung Galaxy Tab™ 3 on a 2-year agreement, with the purchase of a Samsung Galaxy S® 4, Samsung Galaxy S®4 Active™, Samsung Galaxy Note® 3, or a Samsung Galaxy Note® II with a two-year wireless agreement or AT&T Nextsm installment agreement.
Customers interested in receiving a free** Galaxy Tab 3 can take advantage of the offer by visiting any AT&T company-owned retail store or participating dealer (or soon, online at att.com), and purchasing one of 4 eligible Samsung Galaxy smartphones with a 2 year agreement or AT&T Nextsminstallment agreement and a Mobile Share voice and data plan, and activating a Mobile Share data plan for the Galaxy Tab 3. With an AT&T Mobile Share plan, customers can add the Galaxy Tab 3 to an existing Mobile Share plan for $10 more per month. And with Mobile Share, up to 10 devices can share data without needing to purchase separate plans for each one.***
