I was in McDonalds waiting to order my coffee when I pulled out my iPhone to check the internets. A wifi hotspot popped up and this is what I saw:
It seems that AT&T bought Waypoint, the wifi provider, eariler this month and we are seeing the fruit of that acquisition. Free wifi for the iPhone? I’ll give it a try.
I entered my mobile phone number and got a message to wait for a text message.
Sure enough, the message arrived almost instantly.
Clickety-click…
And boom, I’m on the interwebs. In about 10-20 seconds…
No login.
No registration.
No ads.
No headache.
Just some sweet, sweet wifi provided in a way you can actually use it easily.
Props to AT&T, Waypoint, and McDonalds for quick work on creating a great service. I’m going to check at the local Starbucks today if it works the same. If only I could register my phone with T-mobile Hotspot to work the same way, I’d be in heaven.
Yeah, this is pretty much the same as how Starbucks does it. Very useful. Anyway, thanks for the tip. Maybe I’ll stop by for an apple pie.
Not on topic, but I thought this important for Michael. Consider tasting then reviewing the following site’s confections, especially the white ones.
