Wondering if anyone can help me. i won an ipad2 at a poker tournament but it only works when I am around wifi. I want to be able to use it on the sideline of my football games but there is never any wifi at the fields. Is there something I can do/pay to create my own wifi from my ipad?

Tripwire,
IPads vary, some have 3G or 4G capability, some do not. I would check your documentation first. If your IPad is 4G capable, then you must activate it with a cell phone provider to use it. Another alternative is to use your cellphone as a "hotspot", which will create a small area of WiFi. Be aware that some cell providers will charge extra for the hotspot, and not all phones have the capability.
Hope this helps,
John

I don't think you can use it that way. To get access to the Internet, you need to install a SIM card and activate it like a new cell phone. You will incur a monthly charge based on your pkg or usage. Some form of Internet Stick or as Guido said turning your Cell phone into a "Hotspot" would be the other alternative.
