How to get wifi without a data plan with T-Mobile?

I want to get a new phone with internet and I don't want to pay for the data plan. I know that a lot of the blackberry phones have wifi but I'm confused about the rules. I do have unlimited texts on the plan already if that helps. If anyone could explain what phones can have wifi without a data plan or recommend a phone I would appreciate it and I'll give you the points for best answer if that's what you want.

1. If you have individual line unl txt, that is a "data feature" not the family unl msg. The other thing is that if you get an ebay phone or cl phone, you yet again don't need the data ftr. A third option is to upgrade to the phone that you want, deal with the data plan until you get your rebate, and then buy a renew, runs $60 and you can drop data ftr, think of it as a buy out, your rebate runs 50 to 100 so at most you are out 10 bucks
2. Actually, whether or not the phone does WIFI has nothing to do with what features you pay for with your plan. WIFI is either a function of the phone or not, kind of like whether or not it has a camera. I personally have a Blackberry 8900, all you have to do is turn WIFI on and find your WIFI network(if you have one at home or if you are in a Panera Bread or something) and it will connect so you can surf the web. T-mobile has a lot of phones that do WIFI, but I would recommend the Blackberry 8220 or the Blackberry 8120 or the T-mobile Shadow because they are the only phones with "real" internet browsing that T-mobile will not require you to purchase a monthly data plan for.
