Do I require a data plan to access Wi-fi?

I am wanting to get the BB Bold and access email and internet using wi-fi at home and work. I don't really need it while on the road. I am wondering if I can access wi-fi service without needing a subscription to at&t's data plan. Anyone know?

From my experience, yes you can use your Wi-Fi enabled device free of charge from home or at work.

Yes.
I have the 8320 now with WiFi and only have my little $39.99 plan.
No data plan. Use Wifi at my apt and on campus.

Unfortunately, if you wish to purchase either the Bold, HTC Fuze, or the i-Phone; the WI-FI will not work without the corresponding data plan. at&t has locked out wi-fi access unless you subscribe to the data package
