How to Sign Up for 3G Service on the iPad
With March 12th’s launch of the iPad pre-order, Apple has released additional information about the device and its services. 3G models won’t be available until later on in April, but Apple, but they didn’t hesitate to show you how you can sign up fro 3G services. As mentioned at the “Our Latest Creation” event, customer can sign up for wireless data services by way of AT&T without even calling or going into an AT&T Retail Store. Everything is done instantly on the device. AT&T has worked with Apple to provide a breakthrough deal with customers: $14.99 a month for 250MB of data or $29.99 a month fro unlimited usage with no contract, no strings, cancel anytime offer (Now that I am thinking about it, that is a pretty sweet dealĀ¦).
So if you have a business trip or vacation approaching, just sign up for the month you’ll be traveling and cancel when you get back. You don’t need to visit a store to get 3G service. You can sign up, check your data usage, manage your account, or cancel your service — all from your iPad.
Thorough SettingsĀ on the iPad, users can go through the 3G activation process, which displays a simple screen allowing customers to select their desired options.
Once activated, a summary of all the options and costs will be presented to the buyer, including the dates that indicate active service and how much data has been used and how much is available, Apple also mentions that users on the 250 MB plan will receive three separate alerts popping up anywhere in the OS at the 20%, 10% and 0% intervals indicating how much data the user has left on their service plan.
You will also be able to change plans and edit any other information at the end of any service period or change them in the midst of your current active one. Also, users on the 250MB plan can choose to automatically replenish their service with an additional 250MB or go straight to the unlimited plan at the end of the service period or when the have capped their 250MB limit.
AT&T considers iPad customer full AT&T service customers, so users of the iPad who use AT&T exclusive 3G plan will also gain access to the companies 20,000+ Wi-Fi hotspots which include all McDonald and Starbucks locations. All iPads come embedded with 802.11a/b/g/n, which is every standard of Wi-Fi.
Does this mean that the ipad 3g will come with a sim card? Apple customer service told me that the 3g would not have a sim installed and I would have to get one at an AT&T store. This has me confused as i don’t see how you can sign up on the web if there is no card installed.
The SIM card will preinstalled on every 3G enabled iPad…
So, even if I live in a state with no AT&T coverage (WY) I can sign up for 3g?
Does that last paragraph mean that 3G iPads have access to ATT hotspots all the time? Or only if you are currently on a usage plan?
Yes, Brooke. Last paragraph means just that. The iPad will have free access to all of AT&T’s Wi-Fi hotspots, which is some 20,000+ locations that include Starbucks and McDonald’s.
…all that comes bundled for free with your AT&T 3G subscription.

Did everybody now when the update ios 4.3 for iphone4 comes?
There have been some rumors going about that Apple has pulled AirPrint from the final release of iOS 4.2. Apparently, a rumor came about yesterday claiming that Apple has axed the feature from the iOS 4.2 final release because of some unforeseen circumstances. Distraught by the speculated exemption of the features, a customer decided to shoot Steve Jobs a letter about it to get a further understanding of the matter. Steve replied saying that AirPrint has not been cut from the final version of the anticipated software update.
