Please forgive my ignorance with this topic but I'm still unclear about my options.

Now, that my phone is unlocked I can obtain a E-Plus, Vodaphone or O2 prepaid sim and use it.

Does this allow me to call back to the states with no additional charges. Based on the info I pulled off the ATT site, it appears that the carriers have EDGE and data. Will I also be able to take advantage of these services? I would really like to be able to pull emails off.

Lastly, How does wi-fi figure in? Can I turn off EDGE and use wi-fi (if available for web?
