What does it mean to have the AT&T feature? Never heard this before, would be my first IPAD. THX. Dani

A T & T feature means it will have the capability to connect to the internet using an A T & T account (Think like $10 a month minimum)..if not able to connect to A T & T or a different provider...it will only be able to connect to the internet via a local wireless connection (like a wireless router in your home)..(or wifi in a coffee shop or library)

This mean that you will have internet capabillity 24 hrs. a day but it comes with a monthly bill from AT&T.; If you only use your IPad only at home I wouldn,t get that feature and just use my internet at home.

I made the mistake of not getting a cell service on my IPAD. It means when you don't have a WiFi connection it connects to a AT&T; cell tower. Make sure you get the right carrier. If you don't want the cell tower connection then the IPAD is cheaper. AT&T; charges $30.00 a month

To have an At&T; feature on your IPAD is to give you the capability of establishing a data plan with AT&T; which allows you to access the Internet when you are away from home or when you do not have access to a wifi access point like at Starbucks, McDonalds, etc

I like having the AT&T; service because I take my IPAD on the road with me. Great for buying new books while the wife is driving or just browsing the internet. Not to mention streaming netflix while sitting shot gun is pretty awesome!

Well I just boxed MINE up after 5 days of NEVER connecting.....Plus, my serial number showed to NOT exist, WIFI kept failing, just a litany of misery. All I read about (in professional reviews and YouTube) was how it was the "ONE" to buy if not an ipad. Well now I guess I see how much money I get back if any from Amazon (bought it direct). Shipping it all back tomorrow.

You can connect to your home or public wifi networks as well as use AT&T;'s 4G LTE Cell network if you have an AT&T; contract. You would have to call AT&T; and add the ipad to you contract.

Maybe you got too many apps open Boo. My 4G is pretty quick. Not my iPad quick, but fast enough. That said, I only use it for playing music off a dock these days. Even if I trade it in, it's still going to cost me $170. Maybe for people who actually play lots of games it's worth upgrading. Looks like music and movie based users won't find it worthwhile.

It means the mobile broadband is not locked to AT&T. You should be able to use it with international carriers as well as domestic carriers including like T-Mobile. Just make sure the carrier allows for SIM cards.

The listing says it's both. Note that it will probably require a data plan with AT&T.; Then when you are at home you'll want to use your home wi-fi to save data. If you don't have an AT&T; account you'll need to get one for this iPad. If you have another carrier it won't work on it, trust this helps.

AT&T; could be the choice you make for your internet service , it really has nothing to do directly with your I-Pad . AT&T; is a very good internet service but you do have some other choices for that service, you should do some shopping for the best internet provider price. I hope this is helpfull, I love my I-PAD and I think you will to.

My Ipad came with a AT&T; chip, and I dont see it would not work with other service providers' data plans. Besides, my purchase was for overseas use, and it works just fine here.

Probably not since it doesn't say unlocked for all GSM carriers, and it specifically says for AT&T.; It's at a lower price than the other, truly unlocked, ipad airs on Amazon because the AT&T; plan that you must use essentially subsidizes the price.

You will only need to get a data plan if you wish to use the iPad on the AT&T; 4G network. You can only use the iPad on WiFi if you have no data plan.

Would the WiFi version of the iPad be good enough for general surfing on the web? I would probably only use this during lunch or sitting around killing time when I am not at home, news sports etc. I would like to stay away from adding another monthly expense associated with the 3G.

If you have an iPhone it will route calls through your iPad. Not sure how to do this... I was just sitting there reading and I was able to answer a call through my iPad which is Wifi only.

I use my iPod with wifi. I don't know what air means. I don't have a service provider. I use it for music and emails and keeping track of appointments. Of course Facebook. I have a burner phone for texts and emergency calls from my kids school, work eyc

This is exactly what I have been wondering, do you not receive data charges because it's an unlocked phone? My sister was given an iPhone as a gift and didn't use any data, she only ever went online when she was connected to wifi, and a data charge was added to the bill because it was a smartphone. Because this is an unlocked phone, will AT&T; just... not know? I don't know much about unlocked phones :(

That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service. If you have a service provider it insure you have internet connection wherever that company has service. I personally did not want to spend the extra money, so my iPad just has wifi which means I can connect to any other service provider that's not looked. You can connect to your home internet if you have a wireless modem or wifi, also pretty much every public place you go has free wifi. Starbucks, McDonalds, Library, Mall, most restaurants and hotels...etc. Hope this helps:) That would be the internet carrier for your device, just like with your cellphone you need a company to provide the internet connection/service.
