You have to get a phone line or cable. In some limited areas there are (truly) wireless providers, but you need to get thier special receiving equipment installed. Basically you need a data connection to the workldwide web and that normally involves wires.
If your internet use is relatively light and you truly do not want a 'house phone', you can investigate a 3G data card that plugs into a slot in your laptop. These run at up to 512Kbps, so not as fast as phone or cable, but fast enough for browsing and emails. Slightly more expensive to buy and you need a new contract.
