How to use wifi

I will be buying my first smart phone soon, question, what's the difference data charge and WiFi? WiFi is free? I'm thinking about getting the cheaper data plan and use the wifi for free, is this possible? Can I just use mostly WiFi so that I don't go over my data plan. Live in NYC and free WiFi is available in many locations...
you cannot get the cheaper data plan, 29.99 is your only choice so there is no savings. Wifi is free where you can get it and it will allow you to talk on the phone and surf the net at the same time.
Wifi is not used for voice, so.....
A) faster than any 3G network
b) free
The problem comes in when you try to force it to only use wifi. It should be the first order of preference but you can't shut the 3G signal off since you won't get voice calls then.
