If you’ve got an iPhone, you’re probably aware that AT&T has given you access to a bunch of free WiFi hotspots around the country. Problem is, you’ve got to go through a draconian login process to collect your free Internet. Ya know, the one where you have to SMS back and forth with AT&T like a couple of sophomores at a coatillion. Not any more. Fire up Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T from Devicescape, enter your AT&T number and login. That’s all it takes. It’ll cost you $1.99 but until Friday, it’s free. Click the link below to bring it up in iTunes.

Earlier this year, AT&T was offering up free WiFi at Starbucks to iPhone users. Great deal and all, but AT&T eventually reneged on the deal and everyone cried foul. AT&T has decided to give it another go, offering free WiFi at AT&T hotspots to iPhone users. This includes Starbucks and if you were planning on spoofing Firefox to pretend it’s an iPhone (for some free WiFi), it’s not going to work this time. Each day you’ll have to renew your connection via SMS, making “web piracy” nearly impossible.

Still, good news for the legit AT&T iPhone users out there. Enjoy your newfound Internet.
