One convenient feature that iPad models have had since the original iPad is cellular connectivity. While it has been an optional upgrade for iPads, having a cellular connection means you can stay connected even when you’re away from home, and you don’t have to worry about connecting to public Wi-Fi networks that are most likely unsecured.
I’ve owned an M4 iPad Pro (Wi-Fi + Cellular) for almost a year, and I very often use it at home. The only times that I would use cellular connectivity on it are when I’m traveling on holiday, and I can even use that iPad as my own “personal hotspot.” So for my scenario, I can’t justify paying monthly for a cellular plan.
However, AT&T has launched an all-new plan that could entice me, and that’s called the “Unlimited Day Pass,” which could be ideal for those special occasions when cellular connectivity is more essential on an iPad, whether users’ at-home Wi-Fi is down, or when they’re on long road trips. This is essentially true because having cellular on an iPad for things like GPS means they won’t have to use their phones all the time, potentially saving battery life on those devices, especially in case of emergencies.
This all-new Unlimited day pass costs just $3 for 24 hours of unlimited wireless data connection, and setting up the plan is just as easy. Just get an eSIM-capable iPad model, activate that device directly in the Settings app, where they should see the “AT&T Unlimited Day Pass option.” The 24-hour data plan automatically starts once they purchase the plan. It’s that simple.
Best of all, it is not required to be an AT&T customer to enroll in this plan. You just activate as cellular may see fit for you to use on an iPad. You may head to AT&T’s website for more details.
Would you be using this cellular plan for occasions like these? Sound off in the comments below.
