This is very do-able if you live in a metro area. I find there are few places I travel where I can't find a wifi. And with Google voice, you can connect.
However, if you are riding out of town or out camping... you might need cell service.
I buy 1,000 minutes a year from T-Mobile for $100. I also have a smart phone, but mostly hook up on wifi.
Another provider you might consider is Ting, if you need a voice, data, text...
