Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T: Quick and Free Wi-Fi Access for iPhone Users

DeviceScape this week launched Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T, an iPhone app that makes it as easy as possible for iPhone users to log into AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots for free.


"In order to get an iPhone 3G connected to an AT&T hotspot, the user must send AT&T a text (SMS) message, and then wait for a reply with a 24-hour access code - Devicescape's new Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T takes the hassle out of this process," writes Brighthand's Ed Hardy.


"When you fire up the app for the first time, you just enter your number," explains Gizmodo's Matt Buchanan. "After that, when you hit an AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot, like at Harbucks, you just mash a giant button to log in, no hassle required."


"If you act quickly and download this application tool by December 5th, you will be lucky enough to get if for free," notes iPhone Buzz's Shawn Brown. "If you don't get a chance by then, it's going to cost you $1.99, which is not too bad."


"Devicescape plans other operator-specific iPhone connection applications, too," writes Ars Technica's Glenn Fleishman. "Company head Dave Fraser said, 'Part of our Easy Wi-Fi for handsets strategy is to really focus on these operator-locked clients, so this AT&T version is actually our first example of one of those, but there are about four others that have already been submitted to the App Store approval nightmare.'"
