WiFi or 3G

[chrisiw]

Hi all
Can someone please help me with this question, I may be getting a iPad with 3G, but do not understand this.

1 When at home and within my wifi range does it default to my own wifi, also when out and about say im in a coffee shop with wifi, as I would not want it to use my 3G allowance.
2 If out of range of any WiFi does it then default to 3G.

Thanks
Chris

Yes, the 3G model defaults to WiFi when available, similar to an iPhone. You can also turn off the 3G radio if concerned or, alternatively, turn off the WiFi if you have a weak signal and want to force 3G on.
