Cell service means a connection that would allow you to make calls or access the internet (through a provider like T-Mobile, Verizon, AT&T, etc.). Wifi is a connection to a local network that can (and usually does), in turn, allow you to connect to the internet. If you don't have cell service, you can still connect through wifi, if there is a wifi connection available where you are. Conversely, if you are out of range of a wifi connection, you can still access the internet if you have cell service where you are.

OK .... so you are saying cell service (meaning a data plan), right?
In that case, the big difference is wifi connects wirelessly to internet through a router and range is limited. With a data plan, you can connnect wireslessly over an unlimited range.
