If you are a proud Apple iPhone customer, you can enjoy better connectivity with free Wi-fi on AT&T hotspots across the United States. That will surely make a lot of iPhone users happy and give a new reason to flaunt the cool gadget.

AT&T assures you fast broadband speeds for fast and easy downloads of your favorite music, streaming videos, games, and more. AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot locations can be found nationwide at Airports, Hotels, Universities, Convention Centers, Sports Centers, Restaurants, Bookstores, and Supermarkets.

Here is how to find AT&T Wi-Fi locations across the US. Since coffee lovers like to enjoy a relaxed time at Starbucks, they can locate Starbucks with free wifi access.

How to get Free Wi-Fi on Apple iPhone

Activate Wi-Fi from the settings icon on your iPhone and then Select “attwifi” from the list of available networks. Enter your 10-digit mobile number and check the box to agree to the Acceptable Use Policy. Tap ‘continue’ and you will receive a text message from AT&T with a secure link to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. (no charge for the text message). Open the text message and tap on the link for 24-hour access to the AT&T Wi-Fi hotspot. Remember the SMS link will only be valid for 24 hours at the location it was requested.

For those without Apple iphones, but looking for free wi-fi, I was stumbled across this free wi-fi detection software called Easy WiFi Radar, that helps you find and connect to open wireless access points with a single mouseclick - providing free wifi access anywhere, anytime!
