I don't think so, because there is no action with the towers.

I just talked with a Verizon Rep, and they said that Wi-Fi is charged at 15.00 per MB. When researching the Samsung i-760, everyone seemed to say that you could block the phone's data usage and get free WI-FI. I would have assumed that this was the case for the similar XV6800.

You don't get charged for wifi......I have a 6700 and it's not connected to a phone line. I can still turn the phone on and go on the net with it by tuning the wifi on. No charge!!

Of course not!! WIFI is a function of the PDA, or the hardware. Before I activated my phone last weekend, I used WIFI for 2 days before Verizon even knew I had the phone. You only get charged if you use Verizon's broadband service. Since I have no interest in broadband, I had them disable the service centrally, and the only way I can re-activate it is to call them. I can surf the net and get and receive emails while on WIFI. All you need is a hotspot! If Verizon bills you for the use of somone else's hotspot then they are stealing!
