6Gb iPhone data plan on new iPad

There are new micro-sims that support LTE. Just get a new one for your phone, and you'll be all set if you put it in your iPad.

 

Good advice.

What is the AT&T policy on this? Do they do something to your account if you stick an Unlimited iPhone SIM in the iPad?

 

AT&T does some weird things (Used to use them when I lived in the States), so I wouldn't be surprised if they did some sort of IMEI check or something.

Here in Canada, the carriers don't really care what device their SIM is in, as long as it either a) part of their lineup, or b) an unlocked device. iPad falls under b, so it won't matter what SIM is in it, as long as it has data attached.

 

As a Rogers employee who actually knows what he's talking about, I can guarantee you it will work. I've done the same thing with lots of customers wanting to do that.

I myself will get an actual data plan for my iPad, but only because I get a discount.

 

Yeah. AT&T's figured out people might try this.

Warning: Beware swapping iPhone 4 sim into iPad 2 for data usage

 

Wow! AT&T actually does that? Man, US carriers are getting worse and worse from what I remember when I was on AT&T.

 

You don't even need to swap sims if you'll have the iPhone with you anyway just turn it into a personal hotspot in your settings app and the iPad can connect to it via wifi and use it's data. Saves you even needing to buy the 4G version.

 

You'd need an LTE sim to get on LTE and the iPhone 4S is not LTE.

 

I'm waiting for all the woe is me stories on LTE plan overages.

Tests here show you can use a 4gb data plan up in about 8 minutes
