"View Account" disappeared from iPad's Settings->Cellular Data

Hello there, @iJimJones!

Further research reveals that the View Account feature was discontinued by Apple who controls what is in the device's software following update. An AT&T postpaid or prepaid account is required in order to register and use the myATT app.

We hope you find this info useful.

Greetings @iJimJones!

We recommend navigating to Settings and then click your name and see if the View Account button is there. Also, you should be able to access it via Apple Music, App Store, or the iTunes app.

We hope this info helps!

I tried clicking on my name in Settings but View Accounts is not there either. I am unsure what you mean about “accessing” in 2nd sentence. I opened App Store, Music, and iTunes Store and saw no View Accounts button. I did install the myATT app from the App Store but it won’t let me login with the username and password that I use at http://att.com/iPadlanding and if I try to register a new ID it requires an AT&T phone number or an Account number but I don’t have either since my only AT&T connection is to get a data plan or international data plan (non-renewing).

Hello @iJimJones,

Thanks for providing details of the steps you have completed! Since you are a data plan only customer, your renewal will need to be completed using the iPadlanding webpage you are using. 

Thank you!

By your answer you imply that what once was possible and convenient on an iPad via Settings- CellularData- ATT:ViewAccount is no longer possible and one must now use the iPadlanding webpage to renew. Is this something you know? (what changed?) Is there anyone out there who are “data plan only customers” and still have the View Account button on the iPad?

You are not alone, JimJones!

I have an ATT data plan on my iPad, but I don’t have my cell phone under ATT. (I DO have my internet, tv, and land line phone with ATT.)

Like you, I also noticed “view account” disappeared a while back.

iPadLanding worked, but wasn’t as convenient. 

Today, I updated my iPad operating system, and NOW, when I go to settings/cellular data, I get “Manage AT&T account,” click on that, and I am able to log in to my cellular data account! Hurray! Hope this works for you too!

Yep. I updated the latest Mac OS upgrade yesterday (iOS 12.2) and noticed that the Manage AT&T Account option under Settings->Cellular Data is back. Just in time for another renewal that I prefer not to do as an automatic renewal-- and it was such a pain doing in through the web interface. I am a happy camper. iOS 12.2 was the first upgrade in a long time in which I saw a real benefit.

Credit card expired on my ATT ipad account -- and no way to update it. This is stupid.

I want to change the credit card on my ATT Data Plan before the current card expires.   When I click on the Account Settings under Manage AT&T Account, I get an error message saying  "Please close the page and reopen View Account."   BUT   there is NO View Account available.

What can I do to change my credit card #?

When I click on payments I get a message that there is no account linked to my user ID.  How do I find the user name for my Data plan account?  I tried an old username and that didn’t work either.

Hello @todikiaios thanks for reaching out.

Are you trying to sign in to your myAT&T account, either on the site or the app? You'll need to click on Forgot password and Forgot user ID to regain access and reset your password.

After over 2.5 hours of frustration with AT&T call centers, who just bounced me back and forth and no one could solve my problem, I finally located an old E-Mail from AT&T which was notifying me that my data plan was almost out of data, and said to "For account management, please go to Settings on your iPad or att.com/ipadlanding."  I went to aa.com/ipadlanding and was able to log in with a very old password (which I promptly changed to a new password), and MIRACULOUSLY I was able to change my credit card information.   I will now write down this address for future use.  

Thanks for your response, @todikiaios. 

We're glad to hear you were able to update your credit card information. Please let us know if you require assistance with anything else. 

Thanks for visiting our AT&T Community!

Say ba-bye to this 15+ year customer. No notice to my prepaid 2g for 3 months plan I’ve had forever on my iPad. Now you want $25 a month?? Get bent ATT, I’m off to t-mobile. Got a new phone I was going to activate with you too - not anymore. Heinous company greed.
