T-Mobile unlimited iPhone plan SIM swapped to iPad?

Obviously it will work, but will there be repercussions?

Will the data usage count against the tether allowance for that phone number? Or will it work as unlimited - perhaps throttle once it goes over 23GB?

Appreciate the feedback if anyone has tried this on an unlimited plan.

Never tried this, so take this with a grain of salt…but I believe you'll probably get data only up to the allotment that you have for the iPad. No voice.

SIM cards for tablets are data only, I know that much at least.

I tried this with the $30 prepaid phone account I have with them. The sim would not function in the iPad. However, I believe it did work when I took a T-Mobile iPad sim and put it in a phone for data.

I was wondering if it would work for an iPad air that was purchased from Apple, which originally was used for a prepaid at&t account.

My iPhone SIMs on a data plan (postpaid capped, not unlimited) with at&t currently work on it with no problem. But of course it counts against my data allotment.

So, it likely won't work the same with TM on an unlimited plan. But, I was hoping it would.

Someone test it out for the op please and give us some input.
All my iPads are wifi only so I can't stick my tmobile sim to see.

I'm sorry, I don't know. And I cannot test either since supposedly my own iPad is locked.

Tsk, tsk, AJ! Not springing for the LTE-enabled iPads? For shame, sir!
