Samsung phone and tablet contract deals pair a Galaxy handset with a Galaxy Tab on one agreement. As with any tablet bundle, one technical point decides whether it works: only cellular tablets have a SIM slot.

The Samsung advantage here

Two things make Samsung better suited to this bundle than Apple.

See iPhone storage size guide for the contrast, and iPhone and iPad contract deals for the Apple equivalent.

Cellular or Wi-Fi

The cellular tablet costs more than the Wi-Fi version, and it is only worth it if the tablet genuinely leaves the house.

If it mostly stays home, a Wi-Fi tablet plus tethering from your phone avoids both the cellular premium and a second line. See is a phone and tablet bundle worth it.

What to check

The support window on tablets is the check people skip. It is worth asking about specifically rather than assuming it matches the phone.
