Want a tablet companion in your life but you don’t want to pay a fortune to get it? Then you might want to consider Telstra’s deal and get one free of charge.

But like with all good things, of course there’s a tweak here, as well. You’ll have to sign on board with Foxtel and get access to Essential, Movies, Sports HD or Platinum plan in the process.

So every customer getting Foxtel through Telstra will apparently be awarded a Samsung Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 but, as AusDroid reports, there’s no information available about the specs of the tablet, meaning I can’t tell you how much storage capacity you’ll get or whether the promotion includes the Wi-Fi or 3G/4G versions.

Good news is that the Galaxy Tab 3 8.0 is rumored to be getting the Android 4.4 KitKat pretty soon, so you might be able to kick-start your life with the tablet in style.
