I find it hardly fair that AT&T offers free WiFi that you can only use on your iPhone or Blackberry, so here is a work around to allow you to use your free wifi on nay device.

Fist of all you have to make sure you have a Blackberry or iPhone to qualify for the free internet. That being said to trick AT&T you have to change your browsers User Agent. If you use FireFox download User Agent Switcher (UAS) to start the process.

Then you need to alter the UAS settings (Tools – User Agent Switcher – Options – Options – User Agents – Add) to the following:

Mozilla/5.0 (iPhone; U; CPU like Mac OS X; en) AppleWebKit/420+ (KHTML, like Gecko) Version/3.0 Mobile/1A543a Safari/419.3

(Make sure all of that is on one line)

and if you have a Mac in Safari 3.0 in the Preferences, Select Advanced and check the “Show Develop menu in menu bar”. A new menu item called “Develop” should appear in the menu bar. Click on that menu and select “User Agent” and then select the sub option “Mobile Safari 1.1.3 – iPhone”.

With the user agent now switched you will be directed to a landing page designed just for AT&T iPhones where AT&T is asking your for your iPhones phone number. Put in your iPhone or Blackberries number. AT&T will then send you a text message with a secure lick that you click on to activate the free wifi. Just enter that link into your browser and you have free unlimited wifi on your laptop.

    Thanks Dan! This is fab. Just last week I was in a Starbucks with my laptop for a meeting, but had to use my iPhone to get internet, ridiculous! It couldn’t be simpler than with Safari/

    Has anyone tried this yet? I know it was working when you didnt have to go threw the whole text message thing.

    Can it be possible that the router can detect your mac address and see that it is not an iPhone?

    Can I get somebody’s phone #?
    I promise I won’t call you. I just don’t have that kind of phone. :)

    What if you dont have an iPhone or Blackberry
    will it still send the text message to a normal phone?

    Now, is there anyway to use it with a pwned 1st gen iPhone with T-mobile???
