I have an iPad 3G from the UK, where can I get one of the microsims that you get with the iPad in the US?
 
Will they be able to hook me up with one?

There is another fully discussed thread on this very topic, so a search might give you what you need. My understanding is you give ATT $15 & they will give you a SIM. However, you will need a CC w/ a US address. The work around is to buy a VISA gift card and use the address of your hotel.
 
Had a rough time with AT&T so......

I called AT&T and they gave me a line about having to contact Apple for a "replacement" micro sim, or as I like to call it a spare for use in whatever I choose. Anyway, I know that other people have in fact gotten replacement micro sims from AT&T, so I'm not sure what they were saying unless they were trying to deter me from getting a spare. ANYWAY, I searched on eBay, found one for $22 with free shipping. Ordered it, got it, put it in and signed up for my spare service. Also, since I pre-ordered my 3G and got it delivered on launch day, I obviously signed up for the unlimited plan for $30. Well, to my utmost surprise when I was signing up for service on the iPad, it remembered my iPad as being on the unlimited plan, so I had 3 options: 250mb, 2gb and unlimited for 29.99!!!! I am a happy man. Didn't know how it'd go, but it worked awesome for me. Maybe TMI, but had to express my joy. Hmmmmm, also sounds like I have unlimited data for my no contract iPhone 4 ;)
