Can I still use my DINC w/o a data plan?

I need to cut down on expenses and have decided to get rid of the data plan on my Verizon account and go back to my old non-Smart-phone. (Yes, yes, I know, it will be painful!) I know VZ will force me to have a data plan as long as I have a smart-phone.

My question is: Can I still use the DINC w/ Wifi to do just about everything except make phone calls?

Thanks!

Short answer: Yes. I use my original Droid like that.

could you use that 2ndline app and use it for a phone too?

Link? As long as it doesn't require voice service I don't see why not.

Thanks for the replies! I just wanted to confirm that even over wi-fi, there won't be some surprise msg to the effect of "Sorry, your phone is not activated. Please contact Verizon customer service to do anything remotely useful!"
