| | | | Re: Not just for the iPhone users Yes, I believe it means AT&T pays you to use Wi-Fi.  | |

kudos:1 | Makes sense Well that makes sense, it costs less to provide Internet over landline based WiFi than wireless. Win-win!

1 edit | It's not really free Don't you have to be an AT&T broadband client in order for you to take advantage of this? That's not really free, it's an extended part of your original service contract - like calling anyone free who is 'in' the network. Local hotspot affiliates who use proprietary wifi solutions might see a jump in customers if they just went to truly free wifi services. | |

Scarsdale, NY | Re: It's not really free I didn't have access to it before, now I do and I'm not paying any more than I was before. It's free to ATT customers that pay for any other type of connection to the internet. | |

Madera, CA | AT&T Those AT&T WiFI hotspots are very useful when you're out and about.
Starbucks in my area now have them too. | |

| Re: AT&T Hot Spots said by patcat88:"Premium" is just a synonym for roaming. That's exactly what I said above-" "Premium" locations are really partnerships with other Wi-Fi providers".
But, you missed the point, in this case the Premium or roaming Hot-Spots are not included in the free access.
It's $9.95 per month extra in most AT&T areas, but it is $19.95 per month in the the old BellSouth territory.
Call it what ever you want, premium or roaming is almost impossible to connect-- at least in my experience.

| Caps? So I know that unfortunately, AT&T has a 5GB monthly data transfer cap if you connect via the HSDPA network.
If you just so happen to be using one of their Wi-Fi hot spots, would any of that data transfer count against your 5GB cap?
If so it's almost pointless. Sure, the Wi-Fi is likely to be faster than the HSDPA, but if the cap still applies you'll just burn through it faster.
That and to me and many others, the Wi-Fi is almost pointless. How many such hot spots are there? None in the places I'm likely to go to. I go to a Starbucks occasionally, but I just buy a medium size coffee and leave; it's in and out in ten minutes. | |
