Perhaps if your cellular provider Sells and allows the use of "network extenders"... You'd have to consult with your provider.

No, you can't get a cell signal from your router to enable voice, text, etc., on your iPhone. You need to purchase a wireless plan from a wireless provider.

if you have home Internet access AND a wireless router, you will be able to send and receive "iMessages", email messages, social networking messages, browse the Internet, etcetera. With apps like Skype & Google Voice, you can even make phone calls, if I'm not mistaken. You can also FaceTime other iOS and Mac users. Still, all of that will end when you leave the reach of your Wi-Fi signal until you get to an area with good cellular data coverage.
