Jess started her career at TechRadar, covering news and hardware reviews\. AT&T has introduced a new “Unlimited Day Pass” cellular data offer for iPad users who need brief connectivity instead of signing up for a long\-term plan\. The day pass is available for $3 in the US starting today, providing 24 hours of unlimited data, with no contracts, subscriptions, or credit checks required\. This offer is available to anyone, including non\-AT&T customers, with the 24\-hour data activation beginning shortly after purchase\. The first day pass is free as part of an introductory deal\. There are no caps on speed or data mentioned in AT&T’s announcement, but the company says it may “temporarily slow data speeds if the network is busy\.” The day passes are designed to help users quickly get online when local Wi\-Fi isn’t available and to provide on\-the\-go connectivity when traveling or working remotely\. Eligible iPads must have eSIM capabilities\. A full list of supported models can be found below, with[more information available](https://www.anrdoezrs.net/links/8836598/type/dlg/https://www.att.com/wirelessdaypass)on AT&T’s website\.

The company is also planning to launch multiday options, “such as weekend and week\-long passes\.” **Follow topics and authors**from this story to see more like this in your personalized homepage feed and to receive email updates\. - Jess Weatherbed
