I want to set up my data plan for my iPad however I am in Germany for the next 3 months. Will this plan work the same here as it would in the US? Is there anything I would need to do in addition to get the service I need out here?

I just moved to Germany and want to set up the data plan for my iPad. I currently have the iPad linked to at&t however have not yet set up service. I am afraid that I will pay for it and not be able to use it out here. Will the standard at&t cellular data plan work in Germany or am I out of luck??

Your cellular iPad should not be locked to AT&T

If you check the available data plans available from the German carriers

Buy what ever suits you and you will have a 3G cellular service

You will not get 4G on a US sourced iPad

If you use roaming data on AT&T it will likely cost a fortune even on

an international plan considering your time in Germany

Get a local iPad data plan and sim card. Do not use the AT&T international plan unless you have a lot of money and don't care about the cost.

but not an AT&T as clearly stated by OP ( unless you can use a Verizon/Sprint model on AT&T )

Looks like we both need to read the OP more carefully 😉
