Default OT WIFI and DSL difference?

Sorry, this isn't XP oriented but there are a lot of smart people here.

I have a 3G LG 440G cell phone. I'm seriously thinking of a smart phone.
I have CenturyLink DSL that I use with my computer for my internet
connection. I'd probably get CenturyLink wifi for the smart phone.

Are the two related? Can I somehow use the DSL for the smart phone
connection or vice versa? The DSL is in a separate building adjacent to
my home; I don't have DSL in my home; I can't use it without the DSL
modem and I understand only one modem connection is allowed; besides,
even if they are, two DSL modems would be rather expensive for as seldom
as I would like an online connection - usually Google and email - in my
home. Too much trouble to move the modem back and forth now as I don't
have a computer in the house.

I hate to pay for both services - my CenturyLink bill is already at $100
a month for landline and DSL.

Sorry, this old man just don't understand all this new-fangled stuff.

Explanations? Suggestions?

TIA
