    If you always have the iPhone with you then no, you can use the phone's personal hotspot facility to share its connection with the iPad (the iPad will see it as a wifi network).

     

    You only need to have a 3G/4G iPad if you want to connect directly from the iPad to the internet via 3G/4G.
