I have text message plan disabled on my account and when I tried in starbucks, it took me to a browser page to enter my 10-digit phone number but never sent me the text message. I do receive the official text messages from AT&T on my iPhone. But apparently the text messages to allow wi-fi access never reach my iPhone.

I could swear I read a post within the past few weeks about a user who was extremely upset about all the hoops they had to jump through just to get their 'Free' Wifi service up and working with their AT&T iPhone... Maybe it was just in beta or something back then??? Either way, it looks like its up and running now, and straightforward to set up when needed. Kudos to AT&T for providing this additional bandwidth and alternative data coverage beyond their EDGE and 3G networks!

As an iPhone owner though I will be sure to make the most of this offer. I guess this makes up for the lack of the 3G network in many areas.
