Using EDGE/GRPS with iPad and AT&T Plan
I have a new Apple iPad with WiFi and 3G, and I've signed up for AT&T's 2GB prepaid plan. AT&T's data coverage map shows solid dark blue where I live and work, so my data coverage should be fine there.
But I have a question concerning my plan's coverage where I vacation for a couple of weeks every year. That area shows the lighter blue, signifying EDGE/GRPS coverage. I do have WiFi available to me there most of the time. But if I need to turn "Cellular Data" on in the iPad's setting in order to make a connection ...
(1) does an EDGE/GRPS connection require that I also turn on "Data Roaming" in my iPad settings?
(2) are those EDGE/GRPS connections covered in my prepaid plan, or would there be additional charges for using the EDGE/GRPS connection?

Both Edge/GPRS and domestic (withing the USA) roaming are covered by your prepaid plan.
There is no reason to turn off Data Roaming unless you leave the country.

Thank you for your response. I had read so many "beware of unexpected roaming charges" warnings in various articles, that I wasn't aware that the warning applied only to cellular use outside the United States. I'm glad that domestic roaming is included in my AT&T plan.
