Hi Guys,

I am going on vacation to the states for 3 weeks and I am looking for your advice regarding the best data package to go for, for my iPad Pro.

I will need to do some data intensive work while I am there; Video Meetings, Image editing and uploading, emailing large presentations etc.

What data plan and from who would you recommend I go for as a tourist?

Much appreciated.

In the United States If you have an LTE enabled iPad Pro Sprint $30 Unlimted Data is the Best.
Or if you don’t you can use PDanet same old name since the days of PDAs which allows you to use your cellphones data plan via Bluetooth to a PC or iPad
 
Missed the lower case states. Anyway, I do believe AT&T offers unlimited data for $30-35 now, too. Of the 4 major carriers, I've found Sprint to have the worst coverage.
 
Being a vacation visit this would need to be a pay as you go/prepaid sim

Yup, those are prepaid. On AT&T Prepaid DataConnect Pass, it's $35 for unlimited or $29.99 with auto-renew discount (iirc, can cancel anytime).

Since OP has an iPad Pro, I believe he can even use the embedded SIM to sign up.
 
AT&T Prepaid $29.99 Unlimited LTE iPad plan. As mentioned above, you may be able to sign up using the embedded SIM.
