But there's a bit more to it. According to AT&T, the offer is a "service-linked bundle," so you'll have to pay $20.99 per month (plus taxes and fees) for the iPad's line of data service. You'll technically be billed monthly for the cost of the iPad itself (about $13.89/month for a $500 iPad), but AT&T will put you on a 36-month installment plan at 0% APR and then credit you the difference, so you'll only pay $0.99/month for the cost of the actual device for as long as your plan is active.
To put it simply, with this promotional bundle, you'll be paying $21.98/month for the iPad, give or take taxes and fees.
