Current expiriences:
In July 2015 I visited the US for a few days. Visiting a corporate AT&T store, and asking for a prepaid data plan took me to a total of USD 53.00 for 5GB. But the issues had just begun. Here are the technical symptoms: E5372. The device connects proper to the AT&T network, but the little globe does not show up. This means, data connection with the provider is not established. So no internet access for wifi-connected devices. AT&T Free Msg: It looks like you want to use data but have none available. You may need to add a data package, refill to use pay-per-use data or change to a plan that supports data. To check your plan and manage your account, start at att.com/mygophone. If you just made a payment for your monthly plan with data, power your device off and back on, then try again.*solution: call 1-800-331-0500 and talk to an technical support representative. ask for reactivating your account/plan as data, not as phone. After 10sec it worked immediatly. 
 * I´m using a HUAWEI mobile hotspot
 * Either APN setting "wap.cingular" or "phone" brings the globe up
 * solution: use APN setting: "broadband". Reference: http://www.att.com/esupport/article.jsp?sid=KB424489&cv=820 (Tablet section)
 * BTW: the guys at ATT Store just don´t know about these things, so be prepaired with all the tecnical details in advance!
 * After connecting with "broadband" as APN, all www-requests are redirected to that message:
 * See some screenshots of the ATT portal, you can access, even if internet does not work (thanks for this) ;
