Do you have to purchase data to get iPad 2 at AT&T?

PittsDriver · Mar 11, 2011, 09:45 AM

Just as the title says. If somebody wants a 3g iPad 2 but doesn't want to activate it, do we have to sign up for any type of data or can we just purchase it?

Online at wireless.att.com you do, no idea about in-store.

I asked this question yesterday. You don't have to.

PittsDriver · Mar 11, 2011, 09:53 AM

Ya I am interested in purchasing one in store possibly. But I don't want the data.

No. If fact you don't even ever have to use the 3G for a single day. It's 100% no-contract, no obligation. If you want to activate 3G it's done directly from the iPad itself. There is nothing for the store to do unlike a regular phone or contract device.

Online you have to get the plan but its free the first month and you can cancel anytime.

I ordered a 32g in black
