instructions following auction were:so, i've been reading up on the transfer and i'm not even sure if you need the new sim assuming yours is a new iPad 3 ATT and came with a sim . of course i will still mail it as promised, but try the following...
I left my billing name, address, even the credit card info all in there and active just to be on the safe side. i don't know if changing the name and address but not the credit card would mess thing up. so i'm relying on the honor system that you will change all of that upon receipt.
you must change ALL of that by APRIL 8th (technically the 9th but to be safe). If i see a charge to my credit card, for the data plan bill father the 9th (the renewal date), which would indicate that you had left my credit card info in there, i will contest the charge to my credit card and att will in turn cancel the data plan. so make all of the changes asap to avoid any complications and contact me immediately on my cell if you have any questions.
follow the following steps.
goto iPad settings > cellular data >view account
> email : niranjanreddy87@gmail.com > password : niranjanreddy87
if you are using this account in a new iPad (3rd gen) then click > add or change data plan
make sure it says DOM unlimited LTE >>
CLICK DOM UNLIMITED LTE IF IT IS NOT ALREADY SELECTED
DO NO CLICK ANYTHING THAT DOES NOT SAY UNLIMITED
DO NOT CLICK CANCEL PLAN
IF THE APPROPRIATE PLAN IS ALREADY SELECTED >> click DONE which will take you back to the main screen
click on > edit user & payment info
change user info from my name and address to yours
change password if you want
change payment and billing information
if service address is different, click > use different service address
scroll to the bottom and click > done
let me know if this works, in which case everything is done. if that doesn't work, you'll need my sim. either way i will send you my sim.
user name : [buyers email address]
password : [password i set up for buyer]
other confirmations from around macrumors:
1. "Just power on your The New iPad and when the ATT screen comes up use your current email address and password, it'll find your existing unlimited plan, offer you the ability to keep it or change it, select 'keep' and you're done."

I just got my new iPad and this is what i did as am on an unlimited plan too,
just went to setting , data and entered my email and password for the at&t unlimited data plan, it took me to another page where it asked if I wanted to keep my unlimited plan or change, selected my plan and pressed next, it automatically updated the account and sent me a text saying it had been updated.
I logged in from the iPad again to check my account and is now showing unlimited data. So its fairly basic.

Setting up the new iPad with AT&T could not have been simpler.
It asked if I was an existing iPad customer, I said yes, logged in with my ID and password, confirmed my current plan, and voila! Done.
No SIM swap, nothing. I went to the ipadlanding page and confirmed the IMEI was automatically updated to that of the new Ipad.
