Livid!

That sucks, but in all honesty, 2GB ends up being enough for most people. I thought I needed more, and I've never gone over 1.5GB....and that's with a TON of usage. Try it out and see for yourself.

I went through similar hassles as the OP around the time the iPhone came out, during the 3rd week of June. My iPad arrived at the same time, and I couldn't get through at AT&T at all. Finally I did, and they told me to just sign up for the 2 GB plan for now, and they would change it manually to unlimited within the next 10 days.

I had to go to Europe immediately afterwards, for two full weeks, and when I got home, my plan was still 2 GB. So I called AT&T back, and they had it all fixed about 10 minutes later. No pain, no hassle. So I'm on the unlimited plan now, and I'm very happy.

I'm glad it worked for you.
Enjoy your iPad!

That's what I figured. 2GB should be enough and I'd rather go over on some months than pay a constant $30 a month if I don't need it. IT still *isses me off how ATT handled the whole thing though.

Check out this. Looks a bit fuzzy at the moment but you will get your unlimited.

If you do any kind of streaming while on the road unlimited is the only way to go. Get it and you won't regret it.

It is probably because you waited to activate it. Call ATT from your cell phone. Or bring the thing back and exchange it for the wifi model. Only use hotels with free wifi. (like I do, and if reception is crappy, I make em move me).
.

The higher end hotels where business conventions and seminars are that have large ball rooms that can fit trade shows, etc., will usually have free wi-fi in the meeting areas and lobbies. But in the rooms it is about $10.00 day. At the smaller end hotels, they do have free wi-fi in the rooms but many are still stuck with ether net cables. Oh well...

I got caught with the 2GB and vanishing unlimited too.
