Using WiFi on Net10 or TracPhone Smart Phones?

I presently have a very simple Net10 cell phone. I rarely use it to make or receive calls. But, I do have a need to check my web-based emails using the internet when I travel around the country. With so many WiFi hotspots around, I have the following question...

Got a circular in the mail today about the Net10 LG800 phone with Mobile Web. Looks decent and the price is only $29.99. I am thinking I could move to this phone.

So...if I MOSTLY use the WiFi web browsing capabilities on this phone, am I charged Net10 (or TracPhone) minutes while accessing the internet? Again, I want to use it through the free WiFi hotspots and places like Starbucks and McDonald's and other places.

If I don't get this LG800, Big Lots has some handheld WiFi devices for $60 that I could buy instead.

Also, any pros or cons going this route? What are the advantages of having an Android operating system on some of the other handheld devices?

    I think you will be fine, but You should call Net 10 to be sure.

    Normally wifi doesn't use any minutes. I myself just got a used android phone on t-mobile, and only use the net on wifi, I have no data plan at this time. That being said, I am not a Net 10 user, so I am not certain. $30 looks like a nice deal.
