Updated: Samsung Galaxy S3: price UK networks revealed

The Samsung Galaxy S3 is certain to be one of the big sellers of the year, and the networks have quickly announced the availability of the phone in the UK.



With a Samsung Galaxy S3 UK release date set at May 30, a day after the global launch, there isn;t long to wait for the handset.




The latest handset in the Galaxy range has impressed already, with TechRadar's Hands on: Samsung Galaxy S3 review suggesting that this is worthy of being labelled a 'best of class smartphone'.



Carphone Warehouse was the first to get in touch with us and declare that it would be offering up the S3.



"The new handset will be available to purchase in stores nationwide, but eager fans who don't want to wait can pre-order the new device in store, online and over the phone," said the company statement.



O2 took to Twitter to say "The Samsung Galaxy SIII is coming to O2 on 30 May - mark the date", while Vodafone advertised the fact that the 32GB version is exclusive to its network for the first month.



"There will be a choice of a metallic blue or ceramic white finish and, for the first month, Vodafone will be the only network to offer both the 16GB and 32GB versions," it told TechRadar.



Orange chipped in with: "Orange UK is pleased to confirm that it will be ranging the new Samsung Galaxy SIII. More details on pricing and availability will be announced in due course."



And since then both Three and T-Mobile have all chimed in and confirmed they too will be offering up the Samsung Galaxy S3 on their networks too.



We're still waiting to hear all the information on the Samsung Galaxy S3 price from each network, but some information is dribbling in; and it's pretty good news.



Three was first up, letting us know that while it hasn't finalised all the prices, you'll be able to get the Galaxy S3 on its One Plan meaning loads of minutes, data and texts for just £34 per month.





Phones 4U will also let you have the phone for free, but it's £36 per month from the red, blue and white stores.



Vodafone is joining the £36 per month brigade, with 500MB of data and 1200 mins per month, and The Carphone Warehouse is ranging the S3 for £36 per month with all providers, and a bundle of accessories too for the early buyers.



To get the Samsung Galaxy S3 for free from O2 you'll need to pay £41 per month for 1GB of data and 600 minutes to boot... but it's still a hefty cost compared to the rest.
