How long do you think this one will last? It’s been introduced and pulled like 3 or 4 times that I can count. Although I don’t recall it being so publicized when it was done before.
is this on all iPhones? or just on the 3G???
Cool, I was just wondering about what happened to AT&T;’s wifi plan, the other day, when I was passing a Starbucks.
Does this also apply to the iPod Touch?
“You want fries with that Wi-Fi?”
Would this work on my Macbook too, or is it iPhone-only?

Could you check that ATT link?
Not working on my iPhone.
Waiting on ATT to pull the plug again. They started the service, oops wrong time, did it again, ooops-sorry, and maybe the third time is the charm?!.
All iPhones, this is official!
They had to do it to unload their cell networks, I think this was a smart practical move.
iPhone only. But if you’ve got AT&T;wireless at home (mine’s thru SBC Yahoo) you get free wi-fi on your iPod Touch (or laptop, etc.) too. Just sign in at an AT&T;hotspot with your account name and password.

iPhone users, get started with Wi-Fi
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
Lurrvly. But I wonder whatever happened to the iTunes WiFi Music Store. It just kinda faded away, it seems.

It didn’t fade away. When you are on a WiFi network, you can use the iTunes WiFi Music Store. I do it all the time. Could you be talking about something else?
