I have an unlimited iPad plan -- one of the old grandfathered plans. I've often thought of selling it, but, for $30/mo for *really* unlimited data... It's just too good to get rid of. Although, if I did, I wouldn't sell it for less than $1000... It's just too valuable, especially as more and more data is used by all the different services available.
Only downside; no tethering allowed.

I don't think you know the true power of the plan you have, if us look at my post in the 2 page of this forum, you can see I used almost 80GBS in one month, because I was tethering the data all month.
You are able to tether the data if your iPad is jailbroken, you can also use the iPad Data Unlimited Plan sim in a ATT UNITE & ATT UNITE PRO HotSpot and it works for me perfectly I still get 4G LTE speeds.
My rMini is jailbroken and tethering enabled as well.. Truly unlimited 4g LTE data is nice. Only downside to the plan is, god forbid your credit card is declined one month, you lose it forever.

Yeah it can literally replace ones home internet if they so wanted. Either way att charges 50 for 5 gigs. 10 every gig after that. It adds up. The plan pays for itself quickly.
Yup if u did 80 gigs you're bill would be like 800 dollars for one month lol. These plans are great
I'd be worried that if I jailbroke and tethered, that AT&T would kill the plan..
Funny thing is that I really don't use the data plan that much -- I have 150Mbps/65Mbps Fiber, and only recently got LTE in my area. So, the data is only used when I travel; and since I work from home, it's not really used that much...
I keep it as I know the value of the plan, but, honestly, it's a bit of a waste on me....
Fun fact, I bought the SIM from the original owner of the plan for $250 about 3 years ago. Pretty sure it was a good purchase

Yeah, the plan is really aimed at people that hog data. I have had my plan for years and tethered every month since I had it, no problem with ATT.
Yah, the pool of umlimited plan owners is so miniscule (there are like 35 of us lol) that is doesnt really affect them. P.s., they do warn you if your CC is declined. That happened to me one month and it was easy to fix by calling AT&T.
Can I ask WHY you use 80GB in a month over LTE? I don't understand how people rack up that amount of data usage. My home connection is much faster and more stable than any LTE connection, so I would really have to deliberately try to hit those kinds of numbers.
Believe me it's not hard. Stream tv shows or movies in hd, other users on hotspot doing the same. Streaming music, etc. it adds up quickly
Ive seen the crazy prices too. honestly makes sense if you really use it and will use it for a while. more like an investment than dishing out money.
But where are you that you don't have wifi access and are sharing out your connection to a bunch of people like that? I mean if you're road tripping all the time, then maybe.
It's about not having to connect to wifi networks. And I have a wife and 3 kids. It's not hard
I have one unlimited plan and the only reason I have it is as a backup internet connection for my mother in case her internet goes out ... Plus as a backup plan when the time comes that I might actually benefit from it. Saves me a lot of hassle.
I am a heavy tech guy and the idea of using 80gb over a mobile internet connection is very difficult when paired with my standard home and work connections. I barely touch 2gb now and that is with 3 people sharing the plan. To hit 80gb you must be out every night at a different place and using netflix to babysit the kids at the same time.
By email. They always email monthly to say your subscription was renewed successfully, so they use the same address to notify you of any problems in renewing as well.
I have essentially paid at least $240 for my unlimited plan since I got it with my original iPad 3G, and never dropped it since I couldn't get it back.
I think I've gone over 2GB in a month twice, but there is always that worry I may need more some month.
If my iPad is still working fine when Apple stops supporting it (I'm on the 3rd generation model now), I may jail brake it to enable tethering support. I could then drop to a lower data plan on my phone.

It's good to know that these iPad unlimited data plans are still out there. I was getting worried that many folks were shuttering the accounts and they were going by the wayside. I would look to have one on my iPad mini/air 2 when they drop later this year.
So you use your sim in a Unite Pro? How much data have you run through there in a month?
I am worried that they will pull the plan if they know its not in an iPad, and I really need to use an actual hotspot for my home internet, since I am moving to the sticks. Do you think Ill get cut off or it will still be unlimited and unthrottled?
Any info would help greatly.
AT&T Unlimited Data Plan for iPad
Well I've done over 100 gigs before no issue on my rmini with tetherme. I don't think it matters as long as u use the right hotspot. I just had to replace my rmini for a cracked screen and I haven't updated my imei. Still works no problem. Lemme know if youre interested. Technologe and I work together.

So you think if I move the nano sim to the AT&T Unite Pro I could be good? I really need this to work, I have no internet options in my rural area except LTE. Do you think I would be good with the Unite?
