Primary thing to remember is that when using the WiFi capability you are no longer using your phone providers carrier line, thus no charge for the WiFi data link.
Take a look at various phone providers specials and refurbs. Boost is offering very good discounts on phone purchase prices as well as free month for first time subscribers.
I had picked up a refurb Blackberry Classic from Virgin Mobile for $18, worked perfectly until it dived into a mug of coffee. Slapstick bites once again.
