How do I get a data plan on my ipad.

My friend bought an ipad 2 with wifi and 3G, and used to have a data plan until she switched it to her new ipad. I would like to buy a plan, with AT&T, but I have no idea how. Can someone helps me?

I know with a new iPad it is usually a simple matter to use the Settings app on the iPad.
Settings > Cellular Data > there's a link to set up your account.
If it doesn't show call your carrier and ask to set up an account there.
If you want to have your iPad share an account with your cell phone call your carrier.

  • How do I get a data plan for my iPad in Paris?

    I'm travelling to Paris at the end of the month and I'm wondering if anyone can tell me the names of carriers that sell SIM card data plans for iPads, and if there are any special things to be aware of.

    Does anyone no how I can get the data plan
    I'm on orange os6

    Hi there,
    All services for BBs are delivered by the wireless service providers. In your case, Orange. So, ring them up and ask about their different plan options...choose the one that best meets your needs.
    Good luck!

  • HT4157 I do not have at t,I have xfinity,how do I get a data plan

    How to get a data plan on my iPad,I no longer have at t service,I have infinity.

    Xfinity is a cable provider that offers Internet and voice as well. If you don't have a 3G or 4G iPad, you don't have a data plan at all. Is your iPad a 3G or 4G iPad or WiFi only?
    If its Wifi only, the only reason that you would need a data plan is if you have a mobile hotspot like a MIFI device. AT&T data plan on the iPad would have nothing at all to do with having AT&T service for your home.

  • How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    How can I get my data from a old iPad to a new iPad using iCloud and not iTunes

    Restore from the iCloud backup - assuming that you were backing up to iCloud in the first place. If you weren't using iCloud for backup - then you are out of luck.
    If you were backing up to iCloud - you have to erase all contents on the iPad in Settings>General>Reset>Erase all content and settings - before you can restore from the iCloud backup.

  • How do I get game data back on the iPad after being sent a replacement?

    I took my iPad into a shop for repair and they replaced it. Before I took it I backed it up to iTunes. When I got my replacement I synced my iPad with iTunes and got all my apps back. Only problem is I've lost all my game data. My achievements are on game centre. How do I get the game data back? Also I bought extra levels on a game and they have disappeared to? Can anyone help?

    You should have restored from the backup before you synced the iPad. If iTunes created a new backup when you synced, the old backup may have been overwritten and the data may be gone.
    Without connecting the iPad to your computer, launch iTunes and go to Edit>Preferences>Devices. Do you see a backup in that window from the day that you backed up the iPad before you sent it out to be replaced? If you do have a backup from that days, you can try restoring from that backup. While you are still in that window, click on the box that says - prevent iPods, iPhones .... From syncing automatically. Click OK. Quit iTunes.
    Connect the iPad to your computer and launch iTunes, right click on the iPad under devices and select Restore From Backup. Select that backup from the window that pops up and restore from it. Then sync with iTunes.
    You can turn Auto sync back on in the prefers when you are done.

  • How do I get a data plan without a recognized street address?

    I live in a well-wired rural area that uses post office boxes and not street addresses. Because of that, my address is not listed in usps.com, and therefore does not exist to computers. Is there anyway, short of lying, to get a dataplan? We are on a major interstate, so connectivity is not a problem.

    Copied from this link.
    https://www.wireless.att.com/cell-phone-service/checkout/cannotBePOBox.jsp
    Unfortunately, we cannot accept a post office box in place of your street address. A street address is required by Federal law to provide a geographic location for each wireless device that can be associated with the state, county, or city for tax purposes. In order to comply with the Mobile Telecommunications Sourcing Act (MTSA) of 2002, AT&T is required to capture and maintain a Place of Primary Use (PPU) address for all of its customers. PPU is defined as a valid street (physical) address within the defined licensed service area for the customer's home market. This address is used only for taxation purposes, not to determine if a customer can have an out of market secondary/additional line. In addition, we use your street address to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud against you. Our Credit and Activations policy is to run credit only on a physical address. Customers can provide a post office box for their mailing address, but not for billing or place of primary use. A post office box may be entered after the activation process has been approved. The billing zip code you provide us needs to match the zip code on your credit card. Our Credit and Activations policy matches the billing zip with the zip on your credit card as a way to reduce the risk of identity theft and fraud.

  • How to get a Data Plan for a Macbook

    I have a 2008 white Macbook, and am looking to get a data plan to connect to the internet while in a rural area that has excellent cell-phone reception. I see that companies like Verizon and AT&T have data plans, but I can't figure out what I need to actually have and do to make those plans work on my Macbook.
    Do I need a special card or any other additional hardware?
    What is a good data plan that has no annual contract?
    How do I actually go about signing up for it (the wireless companies' websites are confusing)?
    Any help would be greatly appreciated.
    Thanks!

    I'm with Verizon and they have USB devices that work very well for what you want to do. I admit that the website is not to good for finding information but if you can go into a Verizon Store, they will be able to get you fixed up on a data plan which usually includes a free USB device. I suggest Verizon as a carrier because AT&T's rural coverage is not to good.

  • Looking to get a data plan for the sole purpose of playing online video games

    Hi everyone,
    I live in the mountains of Pine Valley, CA and the seclusion is becoming intolerable.  I'm looking to get a data plan with Verizon to play online video games, namely Diablo 3 or failing that due to latency, then Civilization 5.  Can anyone give me pointers on if this would work and what plan I could get?  Currently, I have a plan with Boost Mobile which uses Sprint cell phone towers.  I tested my internet connection with speedtest.net and received a ping as low as 140 and as high as 1000, but I'm hoping the 1000 is just due to reception issues that can be fixed with a better antenna.    The 140 ping is a little high too but I'm hoping this will be better on the Verizon network since I think their cellphone towers are closer.  The closest landmark to me is the Golden Acorn Casino at 1800 Golden Acorn Way  Campo, CA 91906.  If anyone could tell me the distance from Verizon's cell tower to the casino and Sprint's and could estimate a ping value based on that, I would really appreciate it.
    I like Verizon's data plan for 10gb but I'm confused on device connectivity.  Is this the data plan plus whatever router device I hook it up to? I would also need some sort of antenna and a router, wireless or wired.  Can anyone give me pointers on how to find these?  An estimation on Ping and bandwith speed and also on peak hours in my area would be nice too.  Thanks to anyone that can help me with this!  Oh, and while I don't think my area has coverage for 4g, though I'm pretty sure there is 3g, would I possibly get 4g if I had a strong enough antenna?

    Homefusion comes with antenna that is mounted OUTSIDE of your dwelling. That why they send someone out to install it. It also comes with the router. You're thinking of Share Everything data only plans. Where you pay $20 for the mi-fi and then pay extra on the data pending how much you want.  Share Everything with a mi-fi and 10 GB would be $80 a month when you can get Homefusion for $60 for the same 10 GB. An considering the antenna is more power and outside you're a lot more likely to get reception with Homefusion. In either case it should be noted you'll need to pass a credit check and sign a two year contract.

  • HT201318 How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    How can I get a storage plan on iCloud that's more than 50GB?

    Welcome to the Apple Community.
    If you purchase a higher-tier storage plan for your iCloud account to replace your existing storage plan (for example, a 20 GB plan to replace a 10 GB plan), the existing plan will be canceled and you will receive a prorated refund for the time remaining. The new storage plan is applied to your iCloud account and the annual payment date is updated to reflect the purchase date for the new plan.

  • TS3988 My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    My wife bought an iPad Air and synced contact from our PC (Outlook), now all our contacts in Outlook have gone and we have to go to iCloud to get them, and even then they are a bit jumbled. How do I get my data back onto my PC?

    If you can see the iCloud contacts in Outlook, you can copy them back to your PC by selecting all the contacts (click one, then press Control-A), then drag and drop the selected contacts to Contacts under My Contacts on the left sidebar of Outlook.
    If you want to copy your calendar back to Outlook, select your iCloud calendar on the left sidebar of Outlook, switch to the list view (select View from the ribbon, then click Change View>List), select your events (click on a single event, then press Control-A), then control drag and drop them to Calendar under My Calendars on the left sidebar.
    Then you can sign out of iCloud on the iCloud control panel and your local copies will still be there.  If you want to add your iCloud email account back to iCloud, you can do this with these settings: http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4864.

    if someone has wiped my ipad and changed passwords on icloud how do i get my data back? please could someone help me out thanks

    How did they wipe it?  By using Find My iPad and performing a wipe?  If so, that means they have your icloud ID and password, not a good thing.
    You could try connecting it to iTunes and performing a restore from iCloud.  But if they changed password, then you are out of the loop.  How did they get your password in order to change it?
