Also worth noting, if the WiFi network isn't public (i.e. it's just a neighbor who didn't secure it), it may be illegal for you to tap into it.

My notebook computer has everything-even a wireless button.No hotspots around me. How do I get online without signing up to a isp?? Thank you Larry

Is it possible to purchase, in addition to the Add-In Card or USB Plug-In, something that will allow one to access the internet if you don't live a couple of houses down from a public or private WiFi hotspot? Or is it possible for cell phone providers (Verizon, T-Mobile, etc.) to offer this type of service (not free, of course!)?

Options are few. You can quite probably do something using a cellular data plan. Check with your cell phone provider.
