Question Block data plan but still use WIFI?

I am very interested in getting a q9m, but I'm a college student and don't want to play the extra $44 for unlimited date. Since I am on campus there is wifi all around me. If i block the data, can i still use a wifi card to surf the web, use an IM client, and check my pop3 email through outlook?

Can you direct me to one that works well? and in addition, do i just pop it in and then it automatically just searches for connections??
