Most tablets come in two versions, wi-fi and wi-fi + 3G. The latter version costs more.
Wi-fi enables you to connect via the house's wireless router or a public wi-fi hotspot.
3G enables you to connect via a mobile phone system. 3G isn't available in some rural areas. Even where available it tends to be slow, unreliable and expensive.
It might also be possible to connect a tablet via wi-fi to a mobile phone, and then to the Internet via the mobile phone's 3G connection. I think this might be called "tethering" but I'm guessing there.
3G USB dongles can be used with laptops but I don't know if they can be used with tablets.
