I currently have an iPad Air with unlimited AT&T data and plan on getting the new 9.7 iPad Pro. In the past I was able to roll my unlimited plan into a new iPad , but I don't recall how I did it. I assume I'll be able to do the same with the new Pro, but does anyone know the steps I'll need to take?
Got a tip for us?

Go to this site to update your IMEI and ICCID to your new device, and the iPad Pro will then be using your unlimited data plan.

New IPP has embedded sim meaning no sim swapping which sucks for me because i use the unite pro and sometimes the ipad.
i think you misread the info.
the iPad pro comes with an embedded sim, but it still have a regular sim card slot. which means you can still use a regular att sim to swap in between devices.
i took some screenshots from yesterday's hands on videos, there still seem to be a tiny whole (sim ejection hole) on where the sim card slot is, and on apple's website, the sim card slot is also still there

last but not least,
in apple's iPad sim FAQ, it says
"The 9.7-inch iPad Pro, 12.9-inch iPad Pro, iPad Air 2, iPad mini 4, and iPad mini 3 models with Wi-Fi + Cellular can use either the Apple SIM card or a carrier-supported nano-SIM card. The 9.7-inch iPad Pro includes an embedded Apple SIM card. iPad Air, iPad mini 2, and iPad mini models with Wi-Fi + Cellular use the nano-SIM card. All other iPad models use a micro-SIM card. Micro-SIM cards cannot be used in devices that use the Apple SIM or another nano-SIM card"
it can use apple sim (which is embedded) OR carrier supported nano-SIM.
so, don't worry
There is no need to swap sims or enter IMEI info anywhere. Just log into your new iPad Pro with your AT&T login ID and password, and the transfer is automatic.
Guys, this is the 21st century you know.

there is actually. if you want to use it on your mobile hotspot like a unite, then you will avoid apple sim. apple sim only works on apple devices.
That's ok. I'm not interested in violating my terms of service. Thanks for playing though.
not necessarily violating TOS though. it doesn't have to be a mobile hotspot, it could also be an android tablet.
just saying if you ever want to use it on another non-apple device, avoid apple sim, or you will need to go to ATT and get a new sim
