A dream and a promise has come true. AT&T is going to provide free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users.

AT&T finally realizes that Wi-Fi is hot and is hotter if it comes free of cost, so reads the announcement from AT&T. If you have an iPhone this announcement will let you rethink about your earlier complaints against AT&T. Well, if you don’t have an iPhone, I think this is the right time to catch hold of one.

The offer here covers 17,000 hot spots across US, covering more than 8000 Restuarants or Starbucks, more than 700 bookstores, and more than 50 super markets. 12 airports, 31 hotels, 23 universities, 18 conventions and 5 sports complexes are also part of AT&T’s scattered Wi-Fi hot spots.

It is just a matter of taps to access AT&T Wi-Fi network at any of the listed hot spots. Accessing music, checking email and browsing on a hand held device becomes a greater fun with no cents deal of AT&T. Check this for detail information and instruction.

AT&T’s promise of free Wi-Fi access at Wi-Fi hotspots across the US turns out to be a nightmare for many users.

The sign in process is too long. Apart from that users who have disabled SMS capability on their iPhones are not able to access the free Wi-Fi service. It is strange that those users with disable SMS option, however receives text messages from AT&T and Apple.

Many users have started complaining that the whole process is unnecessarily complicated.
