AT&T iPhone plans now include official access to Wi-Fi Hotspots
AT&T is currently offering access to their Wi-Fi hotspots, including several thousand Starbucks locations, for no additional charge on their iPhone rate plans. No information is available as to why this has changed and a check on AT&T's website for a press release let us empty handed.
We previously reported the early emergence of free wireless internet access for iPhone users at Starbucks and possibly other businesses that offer AT&T Wi-Fi services. In locations where access is available, a specially formatted for iPhone website allows you to enter your 10-digit wireless number to gain access.

I was prompted at the downtown Syracuse NY Starbucks to login on an ATT screen, but my ID and password failed [the same number and password that logs into my ATT account].
Three calls to the suggested ATTWifi support number failed, and then a lengthy call to customer service was handled very politely by clueless employees. One even called back with additional cluelessness.
Maybe, like the initial fire drill behavior when the iPhone first appeared, this will straighten itself out in time: like kidney stones... this too shall pass.
