Do we have to assume that we have to purchase data plans in order to use the configuration for WAP that you outlined?

Yes, so you need a data plan to use any data on the phone. Otherwise some carriers might let you use data anyways, but charge you insane amounts like 1 cent/KB, making the loading of a single web pages cost you $1+.

I'll do a top level posting on different data plans and what they get you later today.
