Cell Phone News and Reviews

How-to: Using a modern cell phone for web access via WiFi only (no data plan)

Posted: 06 Oct 2011 12:32 PM PDT

I understand that many cell phones can now access the web via WiFi when in range rather than using the (expensive) data via cell phone network.

Sure, I'd LIKE all the modern capabilities... but I am not willing to pay what it would take.

What I want is a decent mobile web browser that I can use near a WiFi.
I already have a cell phone (prepaid Page Plus), so I don't really WANT any cell phone contract. It is okay with me to carry my existing cell for calls and use a new one only for the web.

Is there a modern phone that will work AS A WEB BROWSER with just WiFi and no contract?
(Being able to use Skype would be a real added plus.)

I'd like to hear of other people's experience (make/model, how well it works, problems, etc.)

Thanks for any help!
