How do you get online with an iPod Touch if you don’t have Wi-Fi?

Karen asks:

If you don’t have Wi-Fi can you use an iPod Touch online? Does 3G work without paying for a data plan?



This question has been resolved. You may still add an answer if you think you can add something to the discussion though.

    No. There is no 3G data connection in an iPod touch, or it would be an iPhone. The only way is through Wifi.

    By default the iPod touch can only access the internet via WiFi.

    Therefor you either have to get a so-called MiFi device (mobile internet modem with built-in WiFi hotspot) or you can setup your own hotspot using e.g. Virtual Router and your computers or laptops WiFi card.

    The only other option would be a SIM card case like the Peel520. However they are not working for all carriers and they don’t support CDMA networks.
