Yes, cellular data access and wi-fi network access are not related.
You can turn on Airplane mode followed by turning on wi-fi access. This will prevent recieving or placing any calls, the same for SMS/MMS, and internet access via a carrier's cellular network while allowing internet access via an available wi-fi network. All other iPhone radios will be off except for wi-fi.
