iPhone Bejeweled without a data plan

I'm located in Toronto and using Rogers. I just recently cancelled the data plan for my iPhone because it was getting a little too expensive. But now whenever I launch Bejeweled Blitz, the facebook connection page that usually pops up has turned into a Rogers mobile data "day pass" prompt. It basically forces me to choose either a "day pass" or "subscribe to a $25 a month plan". There's no option to cancel and move past it without connecting to facebook. Does anybody know a way that I can keep playing without that prompt?

    Can you connect to a WiFi connection with your iPhone and turn off the facebook connection?

    I imagine it's trying to connect to facebook over 3G. Probably if you turn it off, it won't do it, going forward.

    Or switch to airplane mode to play games.

    I tried turning off the 3G to see if it would, but it still brings up the prompt over EDGE. Usually it's just a facebook login prompt, and I can hit cancel but now there's no option to skip it. And I have to get past it before I can even get to the "Play Offline" menu button.

    I can play if I turn on Airplane Mode, but I'd rather not miss calls while I'm playing.

    I can't think of any other solution.
