Hi Lynn, No real experience of this, but I know there are now small portable broadband wireless routers that let you connect laptops/ipads/iphones etc simultaneously while you are out & about basically you have one wireless broadband plan and the device sets up a mobile wireless hotspot using that connection.
It sounds like you already have a mobile broadband stick some routers let you plug in that stick - others are modem/routers that take a SIM card but you maybe able to transfer the SIM from your mobile broadband stick to the broadband wireless modem/router. If you carry your portable broadband wireless modem/router with you then you don¹t need a 3G ipad. Best to check out reviews online to get more info. Cheers Neil -- Neil R.
