Change or Cancel Data Plans

IF YOU NEED TO upgrade your data plan, add another chunk of data because you’re almost maxed out, see how much data your iPad has gobbled this month, cancel your monthly plan, or change the credit card number your carrier has on file, there’s one place to go: the cellular data account settings on your iPad.

To get there, tap Settings→Cellular Data→View Account (see opposite). Since your account settings contain billing and personal information, you need to type in the same email address and password you used when you originally set up the account. (If you forgot your password, click the Forgot Password? link in the box.)

Once you get to the Cellular Data Account settings screen, your options are laid out before you. Tap “Add Data or Change Plan” if you want to tack on another batch of mega- or gigabytes, upgrade or downgrade to another plan, or outright cancel your plan. If you plan to travel overseas with an AT&T iPad, you can sign up for an international plan here too, as explained on the next page.
