Can you use an iphone without data?

I have an iphone 4s with verizon, but my dad's about to end the data. Can i use my phone without the data. I was thinking about using the Wi-Fi and getting a texting app. Would that work?

Not on Verizon. You can't use an iPhone or any smartphone without a data plan.

Yes you can use it as Wi-Fi only but won't be able to use it for anything through the cell tower as that requires a phone plan.

Well normaly he won't be able to end just the data, if you mean hes takeing it off the plan and you will receive no service then the iphone will basically turn into a ipod touch, and you can still do anything though Wi-Fi. But verizon and any service will not allow you to remove data and requires a data plan.
