If you’re buying a Galaxy S4, then you’re almost spoiled for choice when it comes to deciding which carrier you wish to sign up with, because all four of the big names in the United States are offering the device. But that’s not the case if you want the handset prepaid — at least not yet.

AT&T has announced that it will begin selling the 32GB Samsung Galaxy S4 this Friday, May 10. The device will be priced at $249.99 with a two-year contract, and it will initially be an AT&T exclusive, so you won’t find the handset on any other carrier in the United States.
EE has today announced that its 4G network is now available in another 12 towns across the United Kingdom, bringing the total number of 4G connected towns and cities to 62 in just six months following its launch.

If you’ve already placed your order for a new Samsung Galaxy S4 on AT&T, you’re probably impatiently awaiting its arrival on April 30. But if you’re lucky, you may get it several days early. The carrier has begun informing some customers that it is shipping the device earlier than originally expected, with delivery as early as Thursday, April 25.
