iPad AT&T Add 1GB Data For Seven Days $.99

Got about 6 months on my wifes iPad, although I may try to see if the sim works in my windows tablet.
If they do, they will implement in a way in which people won't be able to stack data plans and buy a whole year of data for a song. I got a summers worth of data for $14. Amazing. Wish I'd got more.
I doubt AT&T will bring back the 1GB for 99¢/7day plan. However, I do think we may see a 1GB plan of some kind in the future.

IPAD sim works in any device, I use it in iPhone 5 and android HTC One. You just have to change apn settings, its easy.
Im glad i got 40 weeks 10 months worth
. Wish I got more but why be greedy

Nice, now I just have to get a sim adapter and figure out how to change the APN settings on my windows tablet.
here is how to change it on android tablet: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=69lHUIkEOIE
Should be same on windows just find the APN setting somewhere in settings app.
and you can make a sim adapter where the nano sim fits into phone/tablets that use micro sim. I just cut one out of an old gift card plastic, or buy one on ebay for $.99
I talked to AT&T twice. Once over the phone and once at a store. Thinking about swapping my unlimited data plan from my iPhone to my iPad and sending the 3GB iPad plan over to the phone. Data usage on the iPad has been a lot higher so it can benefit from Unlimited. Luckily I just caught it this month. Used 3052 of 3072 MB. That was close! AT&T said that it won't be a problem. Only drawback for me is my cell phone will have my iPad's phone number.
I'm wondering if I can set up call forwarding on the phone before I do that. That way, if someone calls my current phone number, it will forward to the iPad number that will be on the phone after the swap.

99 cents for 1gb is too good to be true. hopefully it isn't a typo of $9.99
My guess is that it is, or at least meant to be, for first time sign ups and just one use.
Apparently you didn't read the thread before replying. Some people bought a years worth or more. I bought 6 months worth. Wish I could have afforded more but 6 months at $.99 per week is a huge savings and good enough for me.
That would be cool if like I was over and I could buy a gig for .99 to get me through the last of the mouth till the first
I don't think so. I just grabbed them up a few at a time over the course of three or four days while the promotion was going on.

So I can put my iPad 4 sim into my iPhone 5 then put that sim in the iPad 4? And if so, what happens if I do that? Is it just the data plans that are swapped or the phone numbers too or?
Thanks!
The iPad 4 uses a micro sim and the iPhone 5 uses a nano sim so you would have a problem there.
If the 5 works like my iPhone 4S, I have to change the APN on my 4S so that it can use the iPad data sim.
I bought 2 weeks and currently I am in the last day of the second and last week. I could not believe it would roll into the second week and I should have bought more
I am currently using it in my laptop's 3G modem and it works as ... unexpected
Now I am going to Netflix until the end of the GB.

Then the next $.99 plan that you purchased starts the second you use all the 1GB of data.
Yes, they are still working as planned.
I bought over a years worth and so far the plan has continued to roll over to the next one.

I purchased groups of 25 at a time. Probably around two years worth when all was said and done.
One morning simply attempted another grouping and the deal was done.
Still going strong. I don't use the full cap of 1GB each week and imagine my iPad will be loaded with data available to me well into 2015 (at the cost of approximately four months worth, regular price).
