U.S. Cellular is joining the growing ranks of service providers that support the Samsung Galaxy tab, the company announced in a press release Thursday.

Samsung did not disclose any details related to pricing or rate plans for the device with U.S. Cellular.

T-Mobile announced Wednesday that it would start carrying the Galaxy Tab Nov. 10, making it the first carrier to offer the device. With T-Mobile, it will cost $399.99 with a two year contract after a $50 mail-in rebate.

Starting Nov. 14, Sprint will sell the Galaxy Tab as well. The company will have two data plans to chose from: on the 2GB model it's $29.99 a month with unlimited messaging and $59.99 a month on the 5GB model with unlimited messaging. The device will also cost $399.99 with a two-year contract.

Verizon will sell the gadget as of Nov. 11. Without a contract, the tab costs $600 on this provider. A $20 per month 1GB data plan will also be available.

The device will also be supported by AT&T, but there hasn't been any announcement made on these details yet.

Samsung's Galaxy Tab has a 7-inch display and a 1GHz Hummingbird processor that supports 3D graphics. It has cameras on either side. On the front, it's equipped with a 1.3-megapixel camera for video chat, and on the back it has a 3-megapixel camera complete with a camcorder and flash.

For an additional $29.99 per month, users can opt to add-on wireless hotspot capability for a maximum of five Wi-Fi enabled devices.
