Description
*** IMPORTANT ***
- This is only for AT&T iPhones , not iPods
- You need to also install our companion app "Easy WiFi"
WHAT IT DOES:
Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T iPhones replaces the multi-step SMS based login mechanism that AT&T provides for their iPhone customers with a single app launch. Configure the application once by entering your AT&T hotspot user name (your 10 digit AT&T iPhone number is your AT&T hotspot user name). After that, whenever you're in range of an AT&T hotspot, simply launch the app and within a few seconds you'll be connected to the internet. No need to type anything, and no waiting for an SMS.
WHAT IT DOES NOT DO:
Easy Wi-Fi does not turn Wi-Fi on automatically, nor does it select the Wi-Fi network. (Those are not possible within the rules of the current iPhone SDK agreement.) We're hoping a future upgrade to the iPhone will allow these things to be done from a third party application without breaking the agreement.
As long as you leave Wi-Fi turned on, and you have connected at least once to the 'attwifi' network, your iPhone should remember it and automatically reconnect when you are in range of the hotspot's Wi-Fi. The first time you use AT&T's hotspot network, simply choose the 'attwifi' network from the list of Wi-Fi networks, then run Easy Wi-Fi to log in.
SETUP:
Start Easy Wi-Fi the first time, and enter your 10-digit phone number. That's it! Note: you must be an AT&T subscriber.
USAGE:
Simply start the Easy Wi-Fi application once you're in the AT&T Wi-Fi location and it will log you in. A few seconds later you're connected!
PRIVACY:
We only need your iPhone number because that is your AT&T Wi-Fi user name. We will not share your number with others, call you ourselves or send you SMS messages. We only use the number to connect you to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots.
The "reviews" below that claim we will sell your number are wrong. We take our members' privacy very seriously and do everything we can to protect your data. We will never use any hotspot user names, including your AT&T iPhone number, for anything other than connecting you to a hotspot.
If you have any concerns about how we use your phone number, we welcome you to post them in our forum (see below) and we'll do our best to explain.
HAVE QUESTIONS?
Please don't post support requests in the reviews here as we have no way to respond to you with help. Instead, visit our forums at http://forum.devicescape.com/ and post your question there - we will try to answer anything posted there within one business day.

Customer Reviews
Lies!!!
I was ready to use this product but spent time reading the private usage police. They claim they will not directly contact you or give our your number, however, their usage policy says otherwise. They will give out your personal info to third parties.
Beware of how your phone number and email address may be used
From their web site: "We may share personal information such as email addresses and usage data with third parties for their direct marketing purposes."
Does that information include your cell phone number, so that you'll be getting calls from telemarketers on your cell? What usage information are they giving to direct narketers? What sites you've visited? Just be careful with apps that require you to give them your cell phone number.
Worthless- just use ATT login
Just tried program at Starbucks on my iPhone . It kept shutting down after telling me I needed to first be logged into the Internet. I thought that was what the program was supposed to simplify? Never could use it to login.
Then I tried the ATT version of submitting your iPhone number. Got the text message immediately to log in. Quick and painless.
