Devicescape is offering Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T (iTunes Link) at no cost through the App store until Friday, December 5, 2008 afterwards it will cost $1.99.

The App is a connection tool used in conjunction with AT&T's free Wi-Fi services that is available for iPhone subscribers in the US. The tool eliminates the tedious SMS-based method of connecting. Once you have entered your phone number, you simply press the large login button and you are connected.

Easy Wi-Fi comes in two editions. The free edition is for connecting to AT&T wireless access points only. The paid version (iTunes Link) expands the app's usefulness by giving you access to logins for numerous Wi-Fi hotspot provider networks Globally. Both versions of the app give you access to register a free account on Devicescape's servers.

"... eliminates the tedious SMS-based method of connecting".

What's so tedious about it? It takes all of about 15 seconds, and is as simple as entering in your phone, and clicking on a link in the return SMS.

Not a big deal, in my mind.

Seriously. If this meant I did not need to type my phone number, THEN it would be an improvement.

I think AT&T already fixed this problem.

I was in a McDonald's parking lot on my last road trip, and there was nothing about "please give me your phone number, i'll text you the password".

I don't even have a cell phone. I used my AT&T DSL password and it let me on the wi-fi!
