    If this is a wi-fi only device, the only way for you to access the internet is to be using public wi-fi. You may find that in the public library, some coffee houses, or other places. The alternative is to purchase a cellular hotspot device, that will allow you to access internet data via cellular and create your own wi-fi network to connect your iPad to.
