Disable all data connections on your G1:
----------------------------------------
Install Any Cut
Click and hold on the screen background, then select Shortcuts - Any Cut - Activity - Testing - OK
Click on Testing - Phone Information
Press Menu button - More
Disable data connection
Disable data on boot

This turns off all data access. Note that GPRS service switches to "disconnected".
Now you should have a phone that does voice calls, but no data access.

After disabling the data connection, you can, of course, use your wifi without incurring data charges.
However, when you turn off your wifi, your G1 will automatically re-enable the data connection.
So, after you use wifi, don't forget to re-disable your data connection.
