I would like to get an iPad Air. I currently have an iPad 3 with a grandfathered $30 unlimited AT&T data plan that dates back to the original iPad. The iPad 3 has a micro SIM, so I won't be able to just transfer the SIM to the new Air. Does anyone know if it's possible to keep the old data plan? How does the setup work for cellular data when moving to a new iPad? I have had bad luck in the past with the people at the AT&T store messing up phone plans. I'd rather know the procedure in advance, and I'd prefer to avoid involving the AT&T reps as much as possible.
Got a tip for us?

I know one time I had to go to a att site called ipad landing, but luckily they changed it so you could do it from the ipad. Link to Apple's page about it. http://support.apple.com/kb/HT5232

Has anyone tried this yet? Moving the grandfathered at&t unlimited data plan to the the ipad air?
You can do it online on your Air. Just go to the ATT account site where you set up your wireless service and move your service. I have done it many times and you're grandfathered plan move with ease.
