Major bummer for me.
In the past I've been able to use my prepaid AT&T Sim card from my iPhone in my iPad (Original Mini & iPad 4) for the occasional trips when I'd like to have Cell access on the pad but not get a separate plan.

Not sure if it's iOS 7 or the new hardware in the iPad Air, but it now "quickly shows signal" and then reverts to no bars and just "iPad" in the top left.

Total drag.

Anyone having success with an iPhone SIM in any of the new iPad Airs or Retina Mini's?

UPDATE:

My fault. Using the correct APN from http://www.unlockit.co.nz made all the difference!
