View Account irregularity on iPad 2 using 3G data plan

I have a 64GB iPad 2 + 3G. I do not have access to wifi. I rely on 3G only from Verizon.
Noticed something weird the last two days. When I went to View Account in Settings, it stated I had 0 MBs left for the next twenty days.
I had also received an email earlier stating I only had 2 percent of my data plan left for the month.
Yet, I am still able to access this site and others right now. Normally when my data plan is exhausted prior to the 30-day expiration date, I have no access until the my plan automatically renews or I add more data sooner. I get 1GB per thirty-day period for $20.
So, either the 0 MBs stated in View Account is wrong and I actually have data remaining, or there is a glitch allowing me 3G without me having to add data.
If it is some error, I am wondering if my carrier will turn around and bill me for using data that I have not been charged for. I guess that would only be fair. But I did not ask for the extra data yet. I usually wait until the next renewal date. Has anyone else had this situation? To be safe I may stop using it until my renewal date comes up again.
Also, I have seen some posts from iPad+ 3G users saying they will use wifi mostly and 3G only when needed. I think I read that the carrier will cancel the iPad's capability for 3G if you go more than one month without buying data? So, if a user were to use 3G in February and not use it again until June, he wouldn't be able to use the 3G capability any longer? Has this happened to you? Just curious in the event I want to take a long break from automatic renewal of my 3G plan to save money. Thanks.

This happens also on my iPhone 3GS as well. The problem with Apple's WI-FI implementation is that, it will say it is connected to WI-FI but if it's not getting any DHCP information from your router, the internet is routed through your 3G connection until routing information is established! Secondly, the iPad's WI-FI performance is less than stellar compared to my 3GS phone. Thirdly, TURN OFF notification and location based functions! They are data suckers! My Virgin Mobile MIFI $10 data plan, which is about 100Mb, the iPad sucked the bloody bandwidth in a mere 3 hrs! Best to turn off the 3G data function until you need it.
Which is why, I never got the 3G version of the iPad unless I have a wallet full of cash to burn.

Does anyone know how to sync my email account which is on my iMac, my MacBook Air, and my iPhone with my new iPad that uses the Cloud. none of my other Apple devices can use the cloud. Please Help me use the same email account on my iPad!

I have a MacBook Air, bought in 2010 or 2011. It is running OS 10.6.8.
I have an iMac that is the same age as my MacBook Air. My iPhone is 2nd or 3rd generation.
None can support "the Cloud". I use gmail and my iPhone and both computers are all synced.
I can't get email on my new iPad that does use "The Cloud".
Please help.

Any way to start up a new iPad without using a pc that has iTunes? My pc was just stolen and I am still in Europe.

Any way to start up a new iPad without using the pc that has iTunes loaded. My pc was stolen in Italy and I am still in Europe.

So you don't have the cords I assume and the battery is dead? If you already installed songs, apps and other stuff via itunes you should be fine. Just buy or use the cords you received. You may need to buy the electrical adapters for EU connections.
Sorry to hear about the PC.

Will the new ipad 3 use 3g instead of 4g in the uk ?

in the uk at the moment we dont have 4G,
Will the new ipad 3 use 3G instead of 4G in the uk ?

Yes

If i have an ipad 3 with wifi feature only, can I add or use the data plan in another country?, if i have an ipad 3 with wifi feature only, can I add or use the data plan in another country?

I have an ipad 3 with wifi feature only, can I use the data plan 3G in another country??

No. You have no place for a sim card in the WiFi only iPad. You MAY be able to purchase a personal MIFI hotspot that will work with a data plan in another country. I have one here in the U.S. that I bought through Verizon, but I assume it will only work on the Verizon network here with my Verizon Data Plan. So you would need a data plan in the country in which you want to use the iPad if this option is available for you.

Can my Macbook Pro use a data plan?

I would like my MacBook Pro (2012) to be able to use the same wireless data stream as do my iPad and iPhone, so if I take it out of the house, I can access internet and such just like the iPad does. How do I go about doing this? What do I need? Thank you...

The MacBook Pro can only be connected to Internet by Wi-Fi and Ethernet. However, if you want to use a data plan, you can order a USB modem from your carrier to connect your MacBook Pro to Internet when you don't have any Wi-Fi network. Make sure the modem you get is compatible with OS X

IMessage using my data plan

I received a text message from AT&T this morning saying that I had used 65% of my data plan already (it is the second week of February). I don't use the internet or internet using apps very often, so I was very confused when this happened. I called apple and they proceeded to tell me that when I'm not in a wifi area, my iMessage will use my data plan. If this application comes with the iphone 4s , then why isn't there a way to disable it when on the 3g network only? I want to be able to use the iMessage application, but cannot afford the unlimited data plan in order to do so. This is ridiculous, so if anyone else is having this problem, please write back. Also, if anyone has figured out how to disable iMessage just in 3g areas (for the 4s), please let me know.

Either don't use iMessage while on 3G or turn 3G off ENTIRELY under Settings > General > Network > Cellular Data OFF.

How much is the i phone 5c data plan?

Apple is not a carrier or service provider.
Contact the carrier that you intend to use and ask them about their service offerings.

Using same data plan on the New iPad?

I have an original iPad with ATT with the unlimted data plan. If I get the "New iPad" will I still be able to keep the unlimited plan since the New iPad uses 4G.

When the original iPad came out ATT did offer unlimited data for $30/month. Unfortunately the offer didn't last more than a few months if I recall.

How to rest ATT Data Plan?

I bought a 3G iPad from eBay and today I went to setup the ATT Cellular Data plan.
When it logs into ATT to setup, it has the old owners email address listed and no password. There is no reset to clear this info out and setup a new plan.
I'm on the phone with ATT but they have no clue, anyone know how to setup a new user?
The only thing I can think of is to get a new Micro SIM from ATT.

2 things i would do:
a) new sim card (same as you would with a 2nd hand phone)
b) restore ipad to clear ALL old data out

Transferring PDF's from Ipad 1 to new Ipad air using itunes on a pc

I have several pdf documents on my old ipad 1 and want to transfer them to my new ipad air. When I connect my old ipad 1 to itunes ( on a pc ) and click on the books tab under my ipad 1 and then sync books and when I go to the Library there is no place that I can find that shows my pdf documents. Where are these documents stored on my pc itunes and how do I get them on my new ipad air? I have seen similar questions like this but they all are about using a Mac as the main computer and I can not find anything regarding using itunes on a pc to do this transfer. Anyone have a suggestion??

Transferring your prepaid cellular data account depends on your carrier. AT&T lets you move it yourself when you go to Cellular Data in Settings and log into your account with your previous AT&T user name and password. For iPads with Sprint service, you can set up an account on the new iPad and contact Sprint Customer Care (888-211-4727 and go through the menus) to deactivate the old plan and get credit for unused service. For Verizon, call the company’s customer service number for mobile broadband support (800-786-8419) and ask to have your account transferred.
