I like being able to connect with my tablet but I don't do it via another subscription. I have phone software that turns my Android smartphone into a wifi hotspot. Then I can use my current phone data plan.
Doing this can be complicated though. Some carriers don't care if you do it, others want you to pay a fee to them to do so. I've had to root my phone and install software that AT&T has since convinced Google to remove from the Play Store.
If I couldn't tether my phone I would depend on wifi. I'm finding I need to turn tethering on less than I used to because almost every place I frequent has free wifi. I have a friend who paid extra for his iPad to have the ability to connect via 3G and only activates it when he's going to be away from wifi, e.g. on vacation. He has to activate it for a month at a time.
