Help I can't for the life of me figure out how to use WiFi only

I want to be able to use the web browser and get emails using WiFi only instead of using my phone connection, but I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

I am running Android 2.3.6 on a Samsung Exhibit II 4G.

I tried going to Settings > Wireless and Network > Mobile Networks and unchecked the Use Packet Data box, but that didn't seem to work.

Can someone please help me figure out how to do it?
 
in settings, put it in airplane mode. that will turn off both the cell radios and your wifi. then, turn on wifi while leaving it still in airplane mode.

i have a galaxy s on gingerbread 2.3.6. should be the same i'd imagine. in fact, its been the same on every android i've had up thru kitkat.
