Before I ordered my new iPad, I called AT&T's CS to confirm that my current Unlimited Data Plan would transfer to the new iPad. I was told it would. I then asked what exactly I needed to do to make the transfer. The person didn't know but put me on hold to ask someone who did. I was told that I needed to take my new iPad to the AT&T store and that they would make the transfer for me. I thought that was odd, since I never had to take my iPads to the store before. I was able to make the transfer from my first iPad to my iPad 2 myself online, but both of those iPads were 3G, so maybe switching to 4G required more steps?
However, to make a long story short, I decided to try it myself this morning anyway. I powered up my new iPad (how wonderful that you don't have to hook it up to a computer anymore!) to set up and when it guided me through the Cellular Data setup, it said I could log in with my existing account, which I did and the Unliminted Plan was automatically added to my new iPad. I then went online at
https://dcp2.att.com/OEPNDClient/
and, under Edit User and Payment Information, I changed the IMEI and ICCID numbers to my new iPad's numbers. I then turned my new iPad off and then back on (to reboot) and now all seems to be working fine. I checked my Cellular Data Account on my new iPad which confirms that my plan is the "DOM Unlimited MB for 30 days - LTE domestic."
All of this took about 5 minutes. No calling AT&T and no trip to the AT&T store!
Good luck and enjoy your new iPad!!

I had original iPad with "unlimited" data plan. I transferred that to my new "New iPad" simply by going to setting>cellular data>turned on cellular data >selected view account and signed in with previous iPad1 data phone number and password. I was offered to select data plan for new iPad and I selected my DOM Unlimited and within minutes I had it on my New iPad. Oddly it was very easy; just be sure to select the unlimited plan you had in the menu offering.

Keep in mind that AT&T has started throttling unlimited data plans for iPhones at the 3 GB level ( same $30 cost of the limited plan). I would be surprised if they did not do the same for the iPad although I have not read anything about them doing so.

I followed the instructions posted by others for moving my flat rate data plan to my new iPad. when setting up cellular service after logging in with my old account number, I did receive the unlimited plan option and selected it. When I later logged in to check my account status, the IMEI and ICCID numbers had been automatically changed to my new iPad. Yet, no cellular service. Is there something simple that I am overlooking?

To save some of you an hour on the phone and 5 phone calls. Lets start with my proble: the person that connected my ipad data plan at the apple store goofed up my email address. I was receiving the data and the charge in my cc but I was never able to login into the account from the ipad. One day the data plan disconnected becausemy cc info changed and I was unable to add the data plan back becuase the email was wrong, therefore I could not even reset the password.
What to do?- call this number ( english customer service- please dont ask for other language, they answer in anotehr country and are not very familiar with teh technology) Consumer data support 1800-331-0500. They will ask for the phone number of the data plan, you can find that under Setting>general>about >cellular data number, That is the number you have to give the ATT person to locate your accoutn and help you from there. Good Luck.
