Just wanted to officially confirm to everyone .. I bought a pre-paid SIM that uses the T-Mo network and it worked fine in my 2015 A3. 4G coverage worked fine, as did dropping down to 3G in non-4G coverage areas.
To make matters "nicer" - that pre-paid SIM offers 512MB/month of data for $5 "all in" including taxes, with recurring billings. Now the network is clearly not as broad as AT&T's however what I will say is: I've used about 300MB of data in total over the last 5 months in my A3 with AT&T, due to caching of the Google Maps data and the fact that I haven't driven more than ~200mi from my home.
.. and for a $5/mo price point this is a no brainer.

Wondering if this it? There may be others but the hassle-free would be my choice, with this price!

I'll check it again when it expires.
Had to change the APN in the MMI to match the APN of the alternative provider but that was easily found via search.

If you tell T-Mobile you want to use it in a tablet, and you already have the T-Mobile simple plan, they will charge you $10/month for a matching data plan that covers up to 5GB of LTE data, depending on your phone limits. Should work fine.

Wanted to confirm: yes. However, my account still has an active AT&T plan .. as I'm 5.5 months into the 6 month plan.

Also, you said that this does in fact work int he A3, correct?
