Is it possible to connect through Starbucks AT&T iPhone WiFi account using a regular computer rather than an iPhone? When you use your iPhone you have to fill in your phone number and get a txt message with a link to click to enable access. However, Easy WiFi eliminates the need to get the txt message, and it logs you in directly. Is it possible to do the same thing with a notebook computer rather than an iPhone? archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

You got to think like Larry. Me I would throw anybody out of our club's coffee house, I mean Starbusts who wasted our pleasant experience of surfing the net with an attractive iPhone and they were dropping cables, tripods and other crap around trying to surf for free from some Waffle House wifi down the street. If you are part of the Waffle House crowd don't try to hang out with the cool crowd. There is a place for rednecks and swamp rats and it an't in Star'sBust. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

Why not run a scanner so you can find all the free ones better than Starbucks? That way you can buy coffee priced under a dollar and still have free wifi without being ripped off by Starbucks. The Commview scanner works great in a laptop. Most free wifi hotspots post the name of their host store/shop so you don't have to guess where to go for free wifi. Paying for wifi to Starbucks or any place else is just stupid with the airwaves full of free service any more..... Install Commview's scanner on your laptop. Boot it or leave it running in the car as you cruise around and it will load and log all the free wifi hotspots you drive by, storing them to the log file. You'll be amazed what's on the air for free.... Even places that don't have free wifi are near places with free wifi you can use. RF doesn't know enough to stop at walls. Hell, I can connect to Staples' free wifi all the way across the parking lot inside iHop if iHop's wifi is down. This depends on how good a wifi transceiver is in your laptop. They vary widely. We used to warchalk the wifi hotspots we found: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Warcha... but there's so many of them, now, it's totally unnecessary. If you see W4CSC on your list of open nodes, please help yourself. My free wifi node is 50' up a tree in an inverted plastic bucket so the troops at the Air Force base can reach it from the enlisted barracks and get broadband. They're using Pringle's can antennas over a mile away: http://www.turnpoint.net/wireless/h... Building wifi antennas to see how far from a hotspot you can still use it is great fun. You'll get some funny looks when you set up your tripod and Pringles cantenna in Starbucks, pointed out the window to the free wifi at the restaurant or hotel across the street....(c;] archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone

That's quite a price to find a free hotspot. I would have to give up a lot of lattes to pay for this. archived from misc.phone.mobile.iphone
