Does using Wi-Fi count towards my data usage?

If I am at work or at home and can connect to my wireless internet will this count as data usage on my verizon plan. I only got the 105mb plan because I really only "need" access to email. It would be nice to access the internet if I can do it without running the chance of incurring overages.

If so, how do I make sure I am not using the phones data plan?

Sorry if this is covered elsewhere. This is my first smartphone and I am not sure what I have gotten myself into. Thanks.

Well the $15.00 plan is 150 MB not 105 and with that plan you should usse WI-Fi as much as possible thats what I do. I use at home and at a friends house because MB ad up quick with these phones, I had an EnV Touch and would use 25 a month and now with smart phone I used 300 and used WI-FI alot and id just a little more than I normally did on ENV but more to play with on Fascinate. Check data usage on phone (mY Verizon) or text #data or on pc

Sorry, that 105 was a typo...

Do I just need to turn on wi-fi? Do I have to turn off the phone data? Sorry, I guess I don't know how to tell if I am using wi-fi or the phone data.

Wi-Fi does not count as data usage. Pull down the annotation bar at the top of your screen and you will see the Wi_Fi button. Just touch to enable it. You will see your phone is now on Wi-Fi and not on 3G Data. Hope this helps. Have a nice day.

Thanks. That clears it up for me!
