No you can just teather your tablet to your phone using your phone network as your wifi connection

Not just ipads, but many devices have sim card slots, and you can just buy a data sim for them

My Sony Z2 do a tablet with sim availability. They have pro office suite installed free too, which is good. You'll be able to get one cheap on bay as they are a couple of years old now, but there are 2 or 3 different versions of the Z2 (one with a cam, one with wi-fi, one with all+sim I think)

Can you still use your phone when doing that? I'm sure I recall trying this and it pretty much turning my phone into a router while my laptop was connected, couldn't receive calls etc. I'm not exactly hot on tech so may be something I did / that can be overcome.

your mobile network isn't designed to handle a laptop you may get internet on it but it takes a lot more effort which is why I'd did what it did a tablet is absolutely perfect to teather I do it all the time and never have problems with my network although being a mobile network it sometimes bumps me off 3G/4G when I'm talking to someone on the phone but not always tho

Some mobile phone plans don't allow tethering and with a tablet temptation to use lot vof data will be higher.

Tabelets with built in SIM slot are freat but another option is MiFi devices e.g the 4GEE WiFi

Get a mifi (or similar) and a PAYG 4G card. Faster than many people's broadband!

I agree that you need to ensure your mobile phone plan would need to support its use for tethering - otherwise they can charge extra, for out of plan usage. That's not technical advice, just mobile cost info.
