Do you mean an area where you CAN'T get wifi, so your only connection to the internet is through 3G on your phone?

Depending on your carrier (and for a fee), you could set up your iPhone as a wifi hotspot. You can also just outright buy a wifi hotspot (with monthly fee) from many carriers. Then, there's probably a jailbreak option (which would be free), but I have no info on that.

Tom

Thank you for your reply. My phone gets wifi but I will have to pay $100/month for a service I will use occassionally if I buy through a cable company. Can't I hook up the ipad to the phone and get its' wifi?
