Are you required to be on post-paid plan to get ONE FREE month of iPad 3G service?

[sniffies]

I'm on the phone with AT&T right now and am told that you are required to be on the post-paid plan, not pre-paid, in order to take advantage of the ONE FREE MONTH promo.

At first, the rep had no idea what I was talking about. I had to refer her to several links on various tech websites. So I'm not sure who's right, who's wrong. Anyone with a better idea? Ta.

That is in line with what I've read.

"***Plan is for 30 days. Service free for new postpaid activations for first 30 days or the first 2 GB of usage, whichever comes first. Credit could span two billing cycles. Offer available for DataConnect Personal for Tablets or iPad 2 GB Plan only. Subsequent 30-day periods to be billed by AT&T Mobility at $25 for 2 GB usage. To avoid subsequent charges, service must be cancelled prior to 30 days after activation of the plan, or prior to usage in excess of 2 GB within the first 30 days after activation of the Plan. Usage in excess of 2 GB during the first 30 days and in each subsequent 30-day period to be billed at $10 per each additional GB. Unused data does not roll over to the next 30-day period. Offer not available for on-tablet activation. Plans not suitable for corporate email or intranet systems. Credit check required. No term commitment or termination fees apply.

I called AT&T today about getting the postpaid for ipad and getting the first month free and she had NO clue either!! I had to give her the addy for the page from att.com it's on and she was reading that and then proceeded to tell me I could do it from my Ipad?!! yeh the prepaid but I see no option to do postpaid on th pad...AND the website says you have to call or go to an AT&T store SO obviously it can not be done on the ipad.....arghhh!

The way I read it is a free month when you start a new 2GB pro data plan and then having att bill you on your regular phone/wireless monthly billing statement.
