Is there an HTC TP WiFi App that....

I will use my TP (6850) as a phone and text, however I realize that the phone itself has wifi ability.
I do NOT have a data plan with Sprint - just phone.
I have a wifi network in my house. I was wondering if I could surf the web through my wifi network using only my network and NOT Sprint?
I am hoping there is a way to separate the two: phone via Sprint that I pay for, Internet through any open WiFi network.

Is there a way or App that does this?

Hey, in fact, could I Skype through it?

Any help for this noob would be appreciated!

If you can run skype, you should be able to use it.

You don't need any extra apps... If you turn on & use wifi, it's using wifi. If you turn off wifi and can still get online, then it's using cell radio to get a data cxn - which I think if you don't pay for it doesn't the cxn fail? I'm not too sure how this works, I've always had data plans.

there is a "no data" cab floating around here somewhere that turns off your cell data. install that then just use wifi like you normally would.
