Hi, my wife and I have the AT&T iPhone (3G) Family Plan. I'm trying to figure out how much it would cost for us to each buy 1 iPad (lowest end model in terms of GB), including 3G support, and if AT&T gives us special savings for having 4 devices (2 iPhones + 2 iPads) for this combo or no real discounts.

Don't think there is any information like that available yet. All we know is it's $30/mo. (month to month) for unlimited data through a mini-SIM card (i.e. can't use your iPhones SIM).

thx for the info!

One final question, if you exceed your bandwidth, can they kill you in fees or does it just give you an error message? We have the unlimited 3G plan for iPhones now so not sure what would happen. As long as they cut you off if you exceed it, we might get me the unlimited 3G (since I would be using it more frequently) and my wife the restricted usage at first.

Unlimited is really like 5GB. I doubt you'd reach it but say that you do, they'd be hard pressed to hit you with additional fees.
