Created a att prepaid account on iPad Pro with no sim

Hello, 

 

I recently bought an iPad Pro (2020) and decided to go with the listed att prepaid option. I entered my card information and have set up an account. The cellular plan lists the att prepaid plan as active, however I’m not getting any service. I did not go with the option of installing a physical sim on my device as I know my devices has an e-sim. 

Does prepay require a physical sim? And if it does, do I just have to install the sim manually to get the service? 

 

thanks

Great question, @Eitizell05!

 

We can provide you with the information you need to start using your brand new iPad Pro on the AT&T network.

 

If you didn’t buy the iPad from us or you need a new SIM, order an AT&T SIM card online. Otherwise, it's possible to use the embedded Apple SIM, an Apple SIM card in the SIM-card tray, or an AT&T SIM card.

 

Also, if you're wanting to use standalone data plans then follow these steps to sign up for AT&T Data Connect Pass.

 

We hope this info helps.
