The thing is that if you are on WiFi you use data from your WiFi, the iPhone handles this automatically and only uses cellular data if no WiFi is available. This is one of the reasons why such phones are called "smart phones", they are smart enough to do this automatically and this way you most likely wouldn't have the problem you are having with dropped calls. And as somebody else pointed out, you can also go into Settings > Cellular and specifically turn cellular data off on an app by app bases and this way you wouldn't use your cellular data for apps which aren't important to you even if you are out and about and not connected to your WiFi. Anyways, to each their own, but the dropped calls may entirely be due to cellular data being off, but I guess it would be easy to figure this out simply by turning it on and see if you then don't have dropped calls. Where are you located, I mean which country, if you are in the US I think there are many options to get quite a bit of data for a relatively reasonable price so if that is where you are and if you are willing to share which carrier you are with and what you pay others might be able to suggest alternatives which give you more data for your buck so to speak.
