If you are traveling outside the U.S. soon and considering the addition of AT&T’s International Plan for your iPad 3G, you are in for a surprise! AT&T’s priciest plan will run you $200 a month, which provides you with only 200 mb worth of data. You may want to start doing your homework now by looking for better and cheaper alternatives ahead of your scheduled flights.

According to CultofMac, because the iPad 3G comes already unlocked, your best bet is to get a 3G micro SIM from the local carrier at the country you’re in and use their no contract iPad 3G plan.
