I had the same problem with my Cradlepoint MBR1400 router/modem with my iPad sim running in it. Sometimes I could get a couple days of it running OK, and other times it would only be a few hours before it would kick me. The router would still show full bars with great signal, but no data would pass through. A simple restart of the cradle point router always fixed the problem. Not ideal though when you are trying to run security cameras in a remote location and the Internet keeps cutting out every few hours.
Got a tip for us?

Carrier AT&T Unlimited Data Plan for iPad

If you find a fix, let me know. I tried for over 6 months doing different things/settings hoping to figure out a solution.
I never could get it to work correctly w/ the cradlepoint, so I ended up just selling the Cradlepoint router and modem. I don't know if they do random sweeps of the IMEI numbers for devices being used, or what was going on. It was so random when it would get kicked too.
Well, the plan I was set to buy for $375 fell through. I think he was trying to scam me anyway. Once he said he sold it to someone else, he said if I sent him a $30 PayPal gift, he would mention to his "uncle" that I wanted to buy his unlimited plan.
No thanks. I'll end up renting an unlimited line on eBay for $150/month.

If you get tired of renting keep an eye on eBay user a1infinitedata - this guy has sold multiple unlimited iPad plans and he is a reliable seller. $29.99 a month vs $150 a month is quite a bit over time, even if buying a plan outright is more expensive, it will pay for itself, eventually.
I know how to get a unlimited 4G data mifi The mifi runs off the Verizon network and it's not hacked. Only $50 a month from a reputable company and its pre paid + you get the device for free no contract or risk since you can pay the company through paypal

Has anyone successfully used a SIM with this unlimited iPad plan in an Android phone for tethering with no issues? I might be able to get one soon, and I want to be able to use the device I already have (LG G2 D800) rather than buying another accessory (the Unite Pro jetpack hotspot).
Haven't tried. But if you are going to carry an extra device, btween a dedicate tethering phone and mobile hotspot, I'd pick the hotspot. It's made to tether, just tether, so it has better wireless performance.
If you don't want to carry an extra device, just jailbreak you iPad and enable tethering
I bought at AT&T unlimited plan on eBay over the weekend. I got it for $1300. I really didn't want to spend more than $1,000, but some want as high as $2,000. The guy I bought it from as able to transfer the unlimited plan to my current iPad sim I already had. I was surprised when he said it was done.
Thanks. I assume it will just auto renew every month on my credit card and I don't need to do anything else but pay the $29.99 a month. It's great to have one of these. So many people want unlimited data.
how did he transfer the account to your sim? is that an att sim or an apple sim?
Because the plan has nothing to do with the SIM. It has to do with the login ID and password for the AT&T Account section under General Settings.
Correct. The plan is automatically transferred to whatever iPad you log into. So all you need is the ID and password.
Exactly, also be sure to change the password and email combination after you obtain the credentials. This is vital to securing your account. You can do this at www.att.com/ipadlanding .
I trusted him with my login and password and he called AT&T and explained the situation to them and he said he was on the phone for 3 hours...but he finally got them to transfer the unlimited data plan to my AT&T prepaid account number. I already had an existing 3 month 1 GB plan on it and they took that off and refunded me the $25 since it just started and now I'm on the Unlimited MB plan for $29.99. I didn't think this would work and he would have to send me the SIM he was using but it worked out.
Just tried on an apple sim, actually there is no need to call att at all... Just login on the new iPad with new SIM card, and there will be a option to transfer any existing plans to the new SIM card.
I have an unlimited grandfathered AT&T plan I've been planning to sell on eBay. If you're interested PM an offer to me!
