wifi with AT&T?

I understand the new T-Mobile Curve will have wifi capabilities. This may be a dumb question, but if you have an unlocked T-Mobile Curve can you use it with AT&T and still acess wifi? Is the wifi "independent" of the carrier? Thanks.

Well, AT&T likes to make money, so don't count on being able to use WiFi without a data plan. They can lock it easily.

Actually our WiFi device's can connect to the internet without a data plan. all they need to do is find a wifi spot that isnt password protected and they can gain access. WiFi is a feature on the device's just like having a media player or camera, its not a service like T-Mobile is offering to make up for their poor coverage areas

That is good information. TMO uses WiFi for their call at home crap and yea they do have crappy service in most areas, hence why I have AT&T.
