Dude... Being continued to be billed until you actually cancel is called auto-renew...

I'm aware of what auto renew means. My point above was that there was no "option" for not having the data on auto renew. The member who I quoted said there was an option to turn it off.

I had this problem and it was not resolved satisfactorily.  I could not turn off the monthly billing from my iPad.  I had checked a week before my month expired and there was no way to opt out.  So I figure it would expire and then I would re-sign up.  

At the 30 day point I got billed again, so I decided to turn it off from my iPad.  There was no way to opt out on my iPad, only could I opt in.  

I called Apple they said call ATT.  I call ATT and explained the problem to CSR in Columbia, South America and they said they would call me back.  They never did.  So I went to the local ATT store and had them turn in off. I was on day 31.  They did not refund my cost and I have an ATT account on my phone.  Talk about feeling hosed.......... 

Unless of course the OP purchased the iPad from ATT and they put it on a Postpaid Plan like they did mine.

It's near impossible to cancel since you can't create an online account from the iPad.

I ended up going to an ATT store and the agent took over 1 hour on the phone with ATT to get my plan cancelled.

GOOD LUCK

It's pretty easy to cancel an AT&T iPad contract directly from your iPad - you go into "Settings" and then select the "Cellular Data" tab.   From here choose "View Account" and enter the e-mail and password you used when you signed up for the service.  The details of your account appear and you select "Add Data or Change Plan" and then you select "Cancel Plan".

You can easily cancel your AT&T service in under a minute directly from your iPad - of course you'll still have any remaining time / data left on your plan but the service will not 'auto renew'...

Sorry but that answer is a CROCK!  AT&T seemed to find a way to TAKE our money for the data plan via a credit card.  But when it comes time for a refund they suddenly can't figure out how a CREDIT CARD works?

This is borderline fraud by AT&T.  They should be ashamed at how they treat their customers.  They are maximizing their revenue at the EXPENSE of their customers.

I would advise anyone who has canceled their data plan before all the data was used to do the following:

• Contact AT&T Customer Service and complain.
• Contact your credit card company and dispute the charge
• Contact the Better Business Bureau in your area and file a complaint  
• Post on social media about your experience

If enough people do this, AT&T will have to address our concerns.

Everyone knows that terms and conditions are written in legalese and that nobody reads them and almost nobody understands them. You are forced to accept them by clicking in order to get the result you need, i.e. activation of an app or phone or service. A true contract is agreed to by both parties and is a "meeting of the minds". In contract law, without a meeting of the minds there is no contract. That is the basis for contract law. You people have all been brainwashed by the corporations taking over America. You actually think that it's wrong for people to want to  have access to unlimited data and use it whatever way they like because it's supposed to be unlimited. You think that people should happily stand in line to pay through the nose for the same thing we've already paid for, such as tethering for data that we are paying for so that execs can get 24 million dollar paychecks and ATT can make 6 billion dollars a quarter in profits while people who don't have the capacity to understand what they are forced to click through get stuck.

I'm not brainwashed about anything and I also don't work for AT&T. As far as the iPads TOS there is absolutely nothing complicated or hard to understand about the billing process. Heck, even an 80 year old can understand it. My point is, once you hit the submit button, which by the way you are not "forced" to do as you put it, you have no room to complain later on just because you disagree with the way the iPads billing system works.
