Someone gave me their iphone 4 but i just want to use it as an ipod will that work?

Its verizon and i just want to use it to play games take pictures like an ipod but i don't want a data plan will it charge to their account when i use the phone & will it work as an ipod without a data plan? If i just have Wi-Fi please help thank you

I don't believe that you can. I read something somewhere where the iphone will only work if activated on a phone number. But not sure. I think if it wasn't resetted, you should be fine.
