It appears that AT&T has finally rolled out free WiFi for iPhone users at its WiFi Hotspots after several miscued attempts.
According to AT&T, their hotspots at airports, hotels, universities, convention centers, sports centers, Starbucks locations, restaurants, bookstores, and supermarkets are all now available for any iPhone & AT&T customer. Here are the steps to get online:
-
Activate Wi-Fi from the settings icon on your iPhone
-
Select "attwifi" from the list of available networks
-
Enter your 10-digit mobile number and check the box to agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. Tap ‘continue’
-
You will receive a text message from AT&T with a secure link to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. You will not be charged for the text message.
-
The SMS link will only be valid for 24 hours at the location it was requested. Another request must be submitted when using another hotspot location.
-
Open the text message and tap on the link for 24-hour access to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot
