Mod AT&T SIM to Work in iPad 3G

[Melech518]

Hey guys,
So I have found a simple way to mod your At&t Sim card to fit into the iPad 3G and work on the 3G network without activating a new data plan.

Simply use an exacto knife to trace out the mini-sim on your iPhone SIM...



Once the SIM is in the iPad you need to enter Settings->Cellular Data->APN Settings

Change the APN to "phone" without quotations.

Another way is to enter Carrier testing mode in iTunes and enter a custom ipcc file. I personally used Stealth's ATT_US_STEALTH.ipcc, worked like a charm!

It has been confirmed that this mod Is working for Rogers in Canada and also T-Mobile here in the US which is great news.

Very cool!
Any proplems putting back together and using it in your phone?

[Melech518]

Not at all. If you cut it out carefully you can puzzle it back in PERFECTLY. I have been swapping back and forth flawlessly

Very very cool
Should come in hady if the new iPhone goes micro-sim. You will be able to keep old sim, modify, and switch to an older iPhone as a back up to a new one as well.

thats cool and everything, but mywi tethering from my iphone beats the hell out of swapping sim cards all day long.

This is awesome! But I don't know about leaving myself phoneless just to surf on my iPad.

Thanks for the tip! Just wish I got 3G in Michigan... only get it in Florida so I only got the wifi iPad...

Those pics look like they are from 2 different cards because the markings dont match up right . Anyway , this looks like it would be a good reason to sell off my 2 iphones and get the ipad now .

He was showing the new sim (from the ipad) on top of the old Sim (after cut out)! Guessing cus he was using the old sim in the iPad

So if I have a data package for my iPhone 3GS and i do the DIY trick to make it a microSIM I still need to sign up for ANOTHER data plan? It doesn't just share it?

Yes, it is in the iPad

So does this mean a t-mobile sim will work in a unlocked 4th gen iPhone?

Add key telephony = true

drag and drop phone app from 3GS into your iPad's application folder and set the permissions to 777.

Enjoy phone calls on your iPad

Wouldn't you be able to add text messaging and all the other iphone apps to the iPad too then?
