I'm with AT&T... I got my iPP on the 13th from . I haven't activated my iPad for cellular use just yet. But today.. I was just curious to check under T-Mobile. They have that 5GB 5 months plan for 10 bucks.

I decided to go ahead and try it out. If I had activated my iPad under AT&T.. I'll be paying 50 bucks in the span of 5 months, granted I could perhaps use more than 5 GBs in that span using my own AT&T plan. But 10 bucks for 5 GB... It's not bad at all.

Isn't AT&T also $10/mo to add a tablet to an existing mobile share?

What did you choose for the 5gb plan for 10 bucks? I didn't see that option under t-mobile

Yes, adding $10/mo.. And possibly the activation fee. That's why I mention.. Comparing it to AT&T... It would be $50 in the 5 months span then AT&T will possibly add additional miscellaneous fees such as equipment charges or something on that tablet line. But $10 flat fee for 5GB isn't bad at all.

Yeah, it was under T-Mobile. I know I read that by going through AT&T first... That it would lock the SIM card to AT&T. So, I checked T-Mobile & seen that... So, I went for it.

Question. Do you actually have a Air & a Mini? Do you plan on keeping those two along with the iPP?

I have a Mini 3. My order from Verizon is also in limbo, but I imagine that once I get it, I'll stop using the Mini. Not gonna sell it or anything, but just gonna put it away.

That may be the way I go if I keep the one from Target. I'm already paying $10/month for an iPad, but it's no longer under any contract/obligation, so I can drop it (I was going to replace that with the iPP). If I don't get coverage where I need, I'll just add it back to AT&T. Thanks for the tip!
 
Can someone answer a question please.
Does the Apple Store allow you to get the iPad pro wifi+cellular and sign up for the AT&T 0% interest payment plan in store? My local store has stock and if they honor the 0% payment plan I'll head to them and get this party started!

Nope! That's why folks are waiting to get their iPP shipped from AT&T instead of going to .

I wish I could do this...my Apple Store has had stock for weeks while I wait for AT&T to ship mine eventually.
 
Called AT&T again today just to see what was going on. All they told me was that it's in the warehouse and hasn't been shipped. The rep did say it SHOULD be Thursday at the latest. Guess we shall see. Was hoping I'd see movement today OR tomorrow but so far notta!
 
FWIW, I called the 1-800 number as well (before I looked at the thread) as i'm going out of town for a few days on the 3rd and was going to cancel my overnight shipping if it wasn't going to be here before then. According to the rep, he was able to look at something more specific besides "In Progress" and said they are at the warehouse and it should be going out this evening or tomorrow morning. I made sure to ask "Well, it only shows in progress on my end" and he said that he saw that as well, but when he clicked for further information, he's showing they are at the warehouse.

Do I believe him? Eh ... sorta. Though it seems like a rather elaborate ruse and I was overly pleasant with him so he had no reason to lie, but who knows. Dallas is 3 hours south of me so overnight shipping isn't really a big deal anyway.

Cross your fingers :)

Looks like it's going down to the wire...

Will AT&T actually get iPads?.. The crowd holds their breath...❤️

That's what I was told yesterday too, and my 3:08AM order hasn't moved. When I was trolling my order site, I got a chat request from an agent who told me that the guy I talked to the day before wasn't providing "truthful" information and that they can't check stock. Obviously the chat service and the phone people are likely separate locations, but it's a bit frustrating. Hoped to get it before Thursday but that ain't happening. It'll be a nice gift when I get back from my mini-vacation.
 
Hey guys. I ordered iPad Pro SG on the 13th of Nov and got the shipping date of Nov 30 - Dec 7... I just got off the phone with Att cust care and they told me the iPad pro is back ordered. They are getting a huge shipment this Thursday and will start expediting our orders. She told me worst-case-scenario, if they ship my iPad on the 7th, I should receive on the 9th or 10th.

Are y'all getting charged the activation free? Or you guys are on the FAN account..

Tend to think that any phone support is BS ... Most the time phone support doesn't have access to shipment dates because they are always subject to change - however - AT&T receiving a shipment on Thursday makes some sense. I think the 3rd was the earliest "last" ship by date. Two more days...

Either way - AT&T have zero as of now.
 
Got my iPad Pro and I'm enjoying it even more than I imagined. It's killing me not to have the pencil but I got a great deal from Best Buy on the Pencil by 53 and it works very well for simple painting. It definitely can't touch the Apple Pencil's sketching and shading but it will do for the next week or two. Also I got a matte screen protector but unfortunately it's defective and going back to Amazon. I didn't like how it muddied up the gorgeous screen even though the feel was nice. Best of luck guys, come January we won't even remember the waiting we did ^_^.

I was told from an AT&T rep that they can check stock in the warehouse. Not at individual stores though. When he told me to call a local AT&T store locally now they on the other hand can check stock at all locations. I sure do hope they get that mass shipment tomorrow and they expedite orders like someone from the thread stated. Being local, I wouldn't need overnight delivery but would hope at the latest it would get here Saturday. Fingers crossed!
 
I just got the email that it was shipped today. Fedex # isn't registering as of yet however.
