Preserving unlimited data for the iPad. Dear Maggie,I have the iPad (first generation) with AT&T. I am grandfathered into the unlimited 3G data plan. I would like to purchase the "New iPad" with AT&T, but will I be able to keep my unlimited plan now that it's 4G LTE? Also, will the hotspot feature be enabled if I get to keep my unlimited data plan?. And finally, do you know if I can use the FaceTime app over the 4G network?. Thanks,Pellican. Dear Pellican,First of all, congratulations on being one of the few people who has an unlimited iPad data plan. AT&T changed its plans about month or so after the original iPad went on sale. So only a very tiny number of people were grandfathered into the unlimited data plan for the iPad.
And unlike the many more customers who have the unlimited data plan for the iPhone, unlimited iPad users really get unlimited data usage, There is no cap or threshold of usage that can be hit before AT&T slows wisdom tooth iphone case down the service, like it does with the unlimited iPhone plan, I'm sure you realize this and that's why you want to make sure you can keep this plan as long as possible, This leads me to your question, Mark Siegel, AT&T's spokesman, confirmed that original iPad owners with the unlimited data plan can upgrade to the new iPad with 4G LTE and you will still get to keep your $30 unlimited data plan for the iPad..
AT&T won't be enabling the hotspot feature when the device first goes on sale. So that's not really an option for you anyway. But in general, AT&T has not allowed customers to connect more than one device to a device with an unlimited data plan. Customers who use their smartphones with unlimited data plans to create Wi-Fi hotspots risk losing that unlimited service. As for the FaceTime app, which allows you to video chat via an Apple iOS device like an iPhone, iPod Touch or iPad, it looks like it's still limited to Wi-Fi only. In it's initial review of the iPad, the Verge reported that it tried to use FaceTime over Verizon's LTE network and it got a message saying that the app only works on Wi-Fi.
That said, the service doesn't work now, And it's unclear when that will change, so stay tuned, I hope this information was helpful to you, And good luck! CNET will be offering live coverage of the third generation iPad launch, So check it out it if you're interested, Keeping unlimited data for the iPhone, Dear Maggie,Do you think AT&T will continue to provide the $30 unlimited data plan for "Grandfathered" iPhone users if and when the new iPhone has 4G LTE? Or will we then have to leave our old wisdom tooth iphone case plan and be forced to change to a "limited" plan?..
Thanks,Joey. Dear Joey,Today is your lucky day. I have some good news for you. AT&T already sells several 4G LTE smartphones, including the LG Nitro HD, HTC Vivid, Samsung Galaxy S II Skyrocket, and Pantech Burst. And customers who have been grandfathered into the unlimited data plans are able to upgrade from their current 3G smartphones to a new 4G LTE smartphone and keep their unlimited data plans. So the short answer to your question is that I seriously doubt that AT&T will get rid of the unlimited data plan when the iPhone gets LTE. The company seems pretty committed to keeping the so-called unlimited plan. But it is trying to restrict heavy users.
