A wifi only iPad connects to a wireless network if available, if there isn't one then you can't be online.... You could get a dongle and create the wireless network but then you have monthly fees

The 3G iPad version connects online like a phone does wherever you are

Make sense???

If you haves wifi one and a iPhone you can create your own personal hotspot through your phone

If your phone has an internet connection just use it as a wifi hotsopt. Easy to do
