"Typically, an iPhone will look for a specific MAC address--the unique 
identifier for the router--to verify that the wireless network is a device a 
user agreed to join previously. However, if the iPhone has previously connected 
to any one of the numerous free AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots (offered at virtually 
every Starbucks in the U.S., for example) the device will ignore what the MAC 
address says and simply connect to the network if it has "AT&T Wifi" attached, 
Kamkar said".
