To ensure you don't get hit with any data charges (even if you turn on the cellular radio), create a new dummy APN and set the phone to that. It will try to route all data over the dummy APN and as a result won't be able to send any data.
Thanks, it is all a bit greek to me, but I suspect that if I show this to someone a little more tech savvy than me, he will know what you mean and make my phone magically do it
I like magic tech people!
