We purchased a ipad 2 without cellular about 4 months ago. Can i add the cellular data package to my wifi ipad?
iPad 2, iOS 6.0.1
No, a wifi-only iPad doesn't have the necessary hardware within it. As an alternative you can use an iPhone as a personal hotspot (if your carrier supports it) or get a mifi device and use that as a mobile hotspot.
We do have an iphone 4s as well, can I set thta up as a hot spot? Do I have to pay extra for that?
Contact your cell provider to see if they offer hotspot plans.
It depends upon your carrier and what tariff that you are on with them - it may be an extra amount in order to enable it on your contract with them. If you have a Settings > General > Cellular Data > Personal Hotspot option on your phone (personal hotspot) then you are already on an appropriate tariff with them, and the iPad should see the phone as a wifi network - depending on what amount your current data allowance is, you may want to increase it if you plan on using it a lot with the iPad.
