AT&T Finally Ready To Give iPhone Owners Free Wi-Fi At Starbucks

starbucks-iphone.jpgOne extra perk for spending $70+ a month on AT&T (T) iPhone service: You'll now be able to get free wi-fi service at Starbucks (SBUX) stores. The instructions are a bit cumbersome -- you need to log in with your phone number and get a free text message with a secure link to get access -- but if it works, that's good enough for us.

AT&T also offers Apple (AAPL) iPhone owners free wifi access at some airports, hotels, restaurants, bookstores, etc. The telco also offers free wifi access to most of its residential broadband Internet subscribers.

Apple fanboys are officially Douche Bags. 99.9% of subprime loans went to those fanboys. So they can pretend to be rich.
Interesting!

I though a subprime loan was borrowing money to buy a PC with Vista!


(sorry I used the "V" word)

AT&T hath giveth (Free Wifi) and Taketh Away (any chance of iPhone tethering)

I'd far and away prefer iPhone tethering.

A sad day.

Don't you get free AT&T wifi at Starbucks by getting a Starbucks coffee card?
KenC: Yes, with purchase on a Starbucks card. Two-hour limit, I believe. This is 24 hours of access, and doesn't seem to require a purchase. (Not that we recommend going into Starbucks and using the Internet without buying anything.)

Deano: Nonsense. If AT&T and/or Apple can charge extra for tethering, you better believe they will... once they figure out the technical/billing stuff.
