What happened to free Wi-Fi for iPhone users from AT&T?

[newyorksole]

I remember using it and then AT&T disabled it and then it worked again, and since then it just stopped working. Is there a reason they don't offer it anymore?

It does work. Anywhere they offer ATT wifi you just sign on. Example McDonalds, Barnes and Noble, Panera Bread are the three I've used.

Oh really McDonald's still has it? I went there a few weeks ago and tried and it didn't work. It worked when it was first known that AT&T was offering free wi-fi for iPhone users though. I guess I'll try again.

I tried this yesterday and it still opted me with a prompt to pay for service.
I think they will implement the "FREE FOR iPHONE USERS" Wifi soon.

What username / pass do you put in? I'm guessing the username would be your phone number, but what would the pass be? The same one you use for wireless.att.com?

dont you just walk into Starbucks and enter your number?

with Starbucks, you need to have a Starbucks card that's registered online (and you need to have used the card within the last 30 days for the AT&T Wi-Fi account to be active); from the Starbucks website, you can create a compatible AT&T Wi-Fi account that works on the iPhone.

that's a separate promotion to the one in question.

they're talking about this:

in some areas it seems it never got officially rolled out though, we're still waiting.
in other areas it was available but is now no longer available.

damn people haven't you heard of the google ?

I was about to say. I tried at Starbucks the other day and couldn't log on without registering or paying

I use my bellsouth account. I see the problem now. The iphone doesn't have a specific account attached to it when logging on. Call ATT.

you would need a starbucks card (essentially a prepaid giftcard that you can keep reloading)
