Does anyone have telus as there carrier for the new iPad ? On there website it says you can manage these plans directly from the iPad. This is how I could do it with Rogers and the first generation ipad and is a big selling feature for a carrier. So I was wondering if it's true or a bunch of bs..
Anybody?

When I got my iPad 2 the only plan available from Telus was the Flex Data Plan. I see they have added a Prepaid Data Plan. More info here:

anyone here have a Telus prepaid data plan for the iPad 3 or iPad 4 with on-device activation?

I know originally all the carriers limited the on-device prepaid plans to the original iPad and iPad 2, but now a year later I look again at Telus website and there seems to be no distinction between which models can use these prepaid plans. I'm sure the fine print was there before...

I heard a Rogers insider on another forum say that this restriction of the old-style on-device plans when the iPad 3 came out was an arbitrary decision by the carriers (to get more money, forcing us on monthly flex plans), rather than a technical limitation in the iPad 3 or 4.

so I wonder if Telus has changed their policy about these prepaid plans on iPad 3&4? or is it an error on the webpage. Anyone know?
