iPhone Free WiFi Is Back 77
scorp1us writes "iPhone users used to be able to get free Wifi from AT&T hot spots, including Starbucks locations. The service was pulled because of the browser-agent hack. Now the service is being re-launched, this time with a link sent via SMS to the iPhone for the hotspot, valid for 24 hours."

Ok, this is a somewhat tricky hack so pay attention.
1. Buy a Starbucks Card [starbucks.com]
2. Register the Card [sbc.com]
3. Now here's the really tricky part. Go into your nearest Starbucks and attempt to access the Wifi. When you are prompted for user/pass, enter the username and password you registered the card with.
Voila! Free Wifi! Make sure you charge or refill the card at least once a month or this hack will stop working.
You're welcome.

You can't buy an iPhone without a contract. And non-iPhone SIM cards don't work in the locked iPhone. This means that Apple most likely signed you up for a new contract in the store with your existing number - without you realizing it.
Check your AT&T account online and see if there are any clues.
Also: do you realize the silliness of hacking the phone and then complaining that it doesn't work properly?

That does sound like a rockin' place. I'll be there too. Where do you live?
