I was wondering, if I got a micro sim adaptor, would I be able to use my iPads data (legacy unlimited) on an AT&T branded Galaxy Tab?
Yes it should work.
Was thinking the same, wouldn't be too bad to share the data. I just don't want my data plan changed.

I have an IPAD with $30 unlimited plan. On the 21st ATT is releasing their version of the Galaxy. Can I use my simm off the IPAD on the Galaxy. Now that would be kick ass...
Thanks
If you use an adapter, it should be just fine, though AT&T might be tracking the IMEI numbers of their version of the Tab to prevent this.
Apple kickbacks are sort of helping cover the costs of that plan, and you can bet Apple won't be too happy to see it used on non-Apple devices.
AT&T has said they are going to offer the same "iPad" data plans on the Galaxy Tab, so they probably wouldn't care if you swapped SIMs.

Yeah, but I think he's got one of the old plans they're no longer offering.
Micro. I just bought a tab. Put my Att berry sim. It did not work. Also, I couldn't connect to iPhone or iPad running my-wi.

R u saying you can't use tethering the Tab & iPhone? There is a post on how to use Ad-hoc wireless on the tab and it works. Either in this sub-forum or the General one.
I just picked up an AT&T Galaxy Tab and it works fine with the iPad sim. No need to change the APN either. I'm using a grandfathered $30/mo unlimited plan too.

You will have to get an adapter.

Is the SIM a micro SIM card or a regular size SIM card?
The Tab accepts only regular size SIM card.
Micro. I just bought a tab. Put my Att berry sim. It did not work. Also, I couldn't connect to iPhone or iPad running my-wi.

Is it possible to switch my SIM card between a T-Mobile smartphone (Vibrant) and the Galaxy Tab or does it have to provisioned specifically for the Tab?
Didnt work for me.

Unfortunately, i can't say about USA and their contracts and activations and whatevers (which is your case), in case of Europe the answer is of couse yes, you can switch SIMs as you wish, as there is no direct link between the SIM card and any device.
Yes you can. I switch between my nexus and galaxy tab. But that's just me. If you can get the data plan from your phone working on your tab then your golden. Don't ask how I did it though.

Negative, in order for the tab to connect using 3G, it has to have a "webconnect" data plan like the usb stick that you use with laptops. This is different from the data plan that the vibrant has. I was in TMo earlier today to buy a Tab and asked, there was a rep there that personally tried to do the same thing. I didn't buy the tab though, I'm not sure if I want to pay for data on 2 devices ocnsidering I may not use 3G on the Tab much. Maybe I'll wait for the wifi only.

On which version of tab? I am thinking to buy the AT&T version of Tablet if I can use my smartphone SIM from X10. I intend to use tablet only with WiFi 99% of the time. But would like to have the flexibility to use smartphone SIM while on travel/vacation.
u should be able too
Europe, Hungary
SIM cards can be swapped freely between the tab and a regular phone. Service limitations may occur depending on the SIM card inserted.
I use my tab as a work phone too, and I've got a data plan with a voice plan by definition a smart phone plan. Works great
Hey guys,
Still trying to determine which brand of tab i should get. I have a work air-card with an AT&T sim in it. Will this work with the AT&T version of the tab? The sim is supposed to be used in the aii-card so as long as it does not report back to AT&T that it is in a device which it was note designed to be in I'll be fine. The air-card plan does cost more than the normal plan, so i don't think they will complain about this, but just thought i would check.
As far as i could tell no it wont work with the aircard sim with the data feature being a bit dofferent from the one you need that att is selling right now which is the smart phone plans for the galaxy tab

i believe that the tab uses the micro sim. Not %100 sure.
The At&t tab uses a normal sized SIM card so it'll fit. Your aircard plan will work, but if you flash it to make phone calls then you will get charged extra since broadband connect plans do not come with voice allocation.
So I just bought the tab at retail price and activated a monthly plan for it. What I want to know is whether or not the device would work with a sim that only had an android data plan versus the web connect rate plan. I would obviously rather pay less if at all possible. Thank you in advance for any advice you may have to offer.
P.S. Loving the tab so far. Even more capable than i thought.
The answer depends on what carrier you are using. US t-mobile allows for webconnect only. At&t seems allows for use phone Sim card from tmo but you will get only edge because of 3g incompatibility between these networks. I did not try reverse option.
