Yep. I received this message yesterday, and find that it works quite well. I work on an ambulance, and most of my posting locations are near a Starbucks. Gotta love WiFi! Now how do we make it work with PDAnet and tether the laptop in…?
well, thanks…?? why would you say something like that?? Ok, so if this is the wrong place to talk about it, then where is the right place??? You could have just been nice and told me…. :(
There are a few apps that notify you. Intelliscreen is what Doug uses but, that is a paid app from Cydia. You can also use StatusNotifier or Notifier via Cydia (both free). In the screenshot above, I am using a mod called Do Not Touch Me.
I have a iPod Touch 1st Gen and a McDonald’s 3 min from my house, they have free Wi-Fi for everybody and you don’t have to go through all that to get online… Got to love McDonald’s too…
Plus AT&T and Starbucks forgot about iPod Touch users, we don’t have a phone number to enter to get accepted. thats why i prefer McDonald’s & The Mall. I’m from Lima, Ohio… Thanks…
Hey Andres, The better part is that WE DO NOT HAVE TO BE IN A CONTRACT FOR 2 YEARS AND PAY A LOT OF MONEY JUST TO HAVE PHONE CAPABILITIES LIKE YOU DO. I have a iPod Touch and a Samsung Verizon Impulse Card Pre-Paid Phone and i am very satisfied with it. With this econonomy who the heck wants to pay a monthly contract. Having a iTouch is like having the phone but BETTER. NO FEES, NO CONTRACT, NO SIGNAL, WE DONT HAVE TO WORRY ABOUT 3G WHEREVER WE LIVE, AND NOT EVERYBODY GETS 3G ON THEIR PHONES EVEN IF YOU OWN A 3G iPhone… So reply, im ready to read what you have to write…
i do not live near a Starbucks. But, if someone could go to Starbucks, enter their cell number through the iphone, then, when AT&T sends the access link, enter the link into your laptop browser instead of the iphone. Should this work, or does the link check for the iphone browser. If so, update Firefox browser agent to iphone before accessing the link. Just curious.

My works at Starbucks, but when I could not get it to work at two diffrent Barnes and Nobles. Even though it said ATTwifi, it would tell me to try again later.
That’s because Barnes and Noble is not Starbucks. I am sure you didn’t see any Starbucks logo in Barnes and Noble. The coffee shop looks and smells like a Starbucks, but it isn’t. Just ask them.

What’s that status bar notifier thing called at the top when it lets you see if you have new mail or texts?
wrong place to talk about this

Sweet. I got the text earlier and was going to send you a tip about it, but you already got it, lol. Cool site!

Well, to be fair. ATT&T doesn’t care about iPod users because you do not pay a monthly fee to ATT&T. Legal iphone users, do.
I have gotten free Wifi at Starbucks on my ipod touch for months… whats new about this??
Will this work with unlocked phones? or do you need a contract, my phones unlocked but I got a text message from ATT.
it shouldn’t matter if your phone is locked or unlocked.
I did not receive the text message telling me about that offer – but I had easy free WiFi access at SB.
Thanks for the info.
