Q: Ipad not a cellular ipad

You can't directly, it doesn't have the hardware within it. If you have an iPhone then you could use that as a personal hotspot (if your carrier supports it), or get a mifi device and use that as a mobile hotspot (you can't use a USB dongle with the iPad, it won't be recognised).

I recently signed up for FreedomPop.com. http://www.freedompop.com

FreedomPop provides 500meg of free 4g cellular data per month!  You do need to buy their wireless device at $39.  Your machine needs wifi capability. There are ways of getting bonus megs.  One gig of addition data costs $10 per month.  I used about 15megs per hour of lite internet surfing.

When signing up, you need to be careful with your selections.  On some screens, the free option is a small link below the large button.  FreedomPop employs a Pavlovian Dog < Operant conditioning > thing of getting you used to clicking on the large button then they change the large button to a paid add-on.

Once you setup your account, you need to go to your account options screen to turn off automatic paid data download once you exceed your quota.

The performance seems a little slower than my DSL connection.
