no, what you are paying for is the ability to use EDGE (AT&T's proprietary national network) to use for data.
Wifi is for connecting to a wireless network (WLAN) to use a different internet connection. Some establishments have free WIFI access... Starbucks, St Louis (Panera) Bread Co, etc.
EDGE is slower, but is available pretty much nationwide. WIFI is usually faster, but only available in certain spots.
