    Question Will my original iPad unlimited AT&T data plan be grandfathered to the iPad 3?

    I'm still rocking the original iPad 3G 64gb w/ unlimited AT&T data plan

    I do know they grandfathered those who moved to the iPad 2 last year. But how will it be for the iPad 3? Does anybody have any scoop yet?

    Best advice is to call AT&T customer service and find out. I don't see why they wouldn't, what with the recent press Ma Bell has received over throttling unlimited cell phone data users, but stranger things have happened in the Mobile world lately.
    Life begins, and spirits rise,
    and they become memories that vaporize,
    and the vapor becomes the dreams we devise,
    and while we are dreaming...
    Time flies...

    MacRumors is reporting that the few of us that still have the original AT&T unlimited plan will be able to keep it. Check out the story here:

    iPad Owners With Original Unlimited Data Plan Get Unlimited, Unthrottled 4G - Mac Rumors

    I sure hope they are right. I still want to try to confirm it directly with AT&T before I order my new iPad. That will be my top priority tomorrow.

    I talked to the AT&T store yesterday and they said that if I bought a new iPad to bring it down to them and they would help me with the transition of my current plan to the new unit.

    Yay! Sounds good If AT&T wasn't going to grandfather my unlimited data, I was switching to Verizon's iPad because of the faster 4G here.


    Please report back if you have done "the switch* already (possibly next weekend)

    I spoke directly with AT&T iPad Customer Support and they confirmed that I will be able to transfer the original unlimited plan to the new iPad. He said I could do it directly on the device itself when I first start it up or by logging in to my account at www.att.com/ipadlanding.

    That seals the deal for me. Off to order my new iPad.

    It's that time folks!

    Please post here IF you have successfully transferred your unlimited AT&T Data Plan (grandfathered) from your original iPad to the 3rd gen iPad. Also, how is the 4G speed compared to 3G (if available)?
