AT&T introduced an "Unlimited Day Pass" offering 24 hours of unlimited cellular data for iPads at $3 per day, with no contracts, subscriptions, or credit checks required. The service is available to anyone with an eSIM-equipped iPad (2019 models and newer), including non-AT&T customers, with the first day pass offered free as an introductory promotion.

AT&T has launched a new flexible data option called the Unlimited Day Pass, priced at $3 for 24 hours of unlimited cellular data on iPads. The service requires no long-term commitment, subscription, or credit check, and is available to anyone with an eSIM-capable iPad model from 2019 onward, including iPad, iPad Mini, iPad Air, and iPad Pro variants. Activation is straightforward—users simply open Settings, tap Cellular Data, and add the AT&T Unlimited Day Pass directly from their device without needing an app or Wi-Fi connection. The first day pass is complimentary per customer, with subsequent passes available via credit or debit card with no automatic renewal. AT&T positions this as the first major U.S. carrier offering such on-demand iPad connectivity, targeting use cases like weekend trips, camping, tourism, and providing temporary internet access for students. The company notes that data speeds may be temporarily reduced during network congestion and plans to introduce multi-day options such as weekend and week-long passes.
