Adding the new iPad data plan to my existing at&t account

I am planning to get the iPad with 3G, however, from the instruction posted, only way to pay for the plan is directly through credit card. I am planning to sign up for the 3G data, and keeping the 3G data for the lifetime of the product.

How do I sign up for the 3G iPad data plan by using my existing at&t account, and continue to recieve bill from at&t instead of paying directly via credit card? (This way, I can pay for all my at&t bills at once, my iPhone bill, my at&t U-Verse, and my iPad data plan, all at once)

After thinking this afternoon that I would have to wait for Apple and AT&T to solve this problem, I solved my problem by just plugging in an address of a friend of mine that receives local mail delivery and using my credit card number. Even though the address didn't match my billing address on the credit card, the authorization went through because AT&T was able to verify that the address was a legitimate address. As soon as they solve the PO Box billing problem, I'll change the address back to my address, but that was my solution and it worked with no problem.

I had a problem with AT&T that might be similar to yours. We have two iPhones but to get them we had to use another address. AT&T claims to not service our area. We have good service here but it is "E". When I wanted to get the iPad they had the same story so I had it shipped to another zip code. I will change the address after it is all set up.

We plan to only use the data plan when traveling anyway.
