    Sounds like you actually paying for cellular service and you really need to be on wifi to backup your ipad/iphone.

    Normally you have to be connected to wifi and you can do manual backup by going to Settings- icloud- storage and backup and pressing backup now button. Start with your ipad, usually size of the backup smaller and return here if you encounter a problem.
