AT&T has launched a new service offering consisting of 24 hours of unlimited data for $3, available to anyone, with no contract or subscription. Initially, it's available only on cellular-equipped Apple iPads, and can be activated directly from the built-in Settings app. You do not need to be an existing AT&T customer; you only need a credit or debit card, and the 24-hour period starts "shortly after purchase". The data is "unlimited" but not "premium" data, meaning "AT&T may temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy." AT&T plans to expand the offering in the "near future" to "other 5G-enabled devices like Android tablets, smartwatches, laptops, drones, etc." Also in the near future, the company plans to offer "multi-day options such as weekend and week-long passes."
