AT&T Giving Free WiFi To Everyone

Well that is if you have the means and know how to get it. You see, AT&T is actually offering free WiFi access only to it’s iPhone’s users at certain locations such as Barnes and Noble, Starbucks most probably their other 71,000 hotspots as well (though I can’t confirm this).
The thing is, when you log on via WiFi through your iPhone, you would a portal that asks for your number after which you can access the net for free.
Now the thing is, a MacRumors reader has confirmed that the system is based on the iPhone’s user agent which means you could easily switch your device’s (be it a Pocket PC or laptop).
While he did manage to successfully log onto the WiFi hotspot with his WiFi through a laptop, he had used a valid iPhone number at the login screen. Not too sure if any AT&T number (or any number for that matter) would work.
Still worth a try. The next time you are on the lookout for some WiFi, let us know if this works for you.
Expect this to loophole to be patched pretty soon so get ‘em while they’re still there. (via MacRumors)
