If there is not such a constraint, we then should be able to use iPhone even outside US when there is only Wifi.

Your AT&T tech doesn't know what they are talking about!

Wi-fi works perfectly for Email/Web/google maps etc without EDGE.

That's the whole point of it.

The only things that don't work without EDGE are phone calls and voicemail.

The only thing stopping people from using wi-fi is configuration issues either with the wi-fi or the iPhone or both.
