Hi, Resolved my problem. I called ATT Internet Services. They connected me to ATT WiFi, provider Wayport. Wayport verified I had an account. They told me I had tried to log in with the default attwifi domain. There was an option to change to my actual sbcglobal.net domain. After that, it worked!
My problem was I did not set the login domain correctly. I wonder if there is a direct tech support number for attwifi, instead of going through ATT Internet tech support.

I've been piggy-backing on my Dad's T-mobile acct and paying him $20.00 a month to access T-Mobile wifi at all Starbucks and Kinko's. With out his account its $30.00 a month. This will save me $240 a year if it's true, I have to try it soon. I currently have Yahoo/SBCGlobal DSL at home, which is up for renewal either this month or next month, forget which.

Then I went to another page, and it indicated I did not have the wifi service. I called ATT customer service. They told me the free ATT wifi offer was effective July 1, 2007 for new customers. I was an old customer and had to pay $1.99. I asked the rep to sign me up. She said go sign up at the website. It's only $1.99 a month, but it seems to me I should get it free. Has anybody been down this road and gotten them to waive the $1.99?

AT&T Inc. today announced that millions of its customers with higher speed broadband plans can now receive free access to AT&T's nationwide Wi-Fi network -- nearly 10,000 hot spots at popular locations across the country including leading airports, McDonalds restaurants, Barnes & Noble bookstores, coffee shops and popular sporting venues. With the proliferation of Wi-Fi-enabled devices including, most recently, the iPhone but also laptops, wireless music systems and PDAs, consumers are increasingly looking for on-the-go Internet connections. As the nation's premier provider of broadband service and with the nation's largest Wi-Fi network, AT&T offers consumers more high speed in more places. Effective now, qualifying new and existing residential and small business AT&T broadband customers instantly benefit from the free unlimited Wi-Fi connectivity at company hot spots. Qualifying AT&T broadband packages include: AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro (up to 3.0 Mbps downstream), AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Elite (up to 6.0 Mbps downstream), FastAccess Xtreme (up to 3.0 Mbps downstream) and FastAccess Xtreme 6.0 (up to 6.0 Mbps downstream). "Consumers are increasingly demanding anytime, anywhere connectivity, and AT&T is uniquely able to deliver on their need for mobility, whether it's broadband or wireless services," said Rick Welday, chief marketing officer, AT&T Consumer. "Providing customers with more high speed access in more places also gives us a competitive edge because we're able to offer an on-the-go broadband experience that cable can't match." In related news, AT&T also announced two new offers which allow residential customers to experience Wi-Fi benefits in the comfort of their own home -- still free of charge and free of wires when using an AT&T Wireless (Wi-Fi) Gateway. The AT&T Wireless Gateway enables residential broadband customers to roam -- untethered -- throughout virtually any room in the home and receive fast access to the Web using multiple Wi-Fi-enabled devices. Hundreds of thousands of AT&T broadband customers already have home Wi-Fi gateways; AT&T ships an average of nearly 7,000 a day. The new residential gateway offers include: -- A free wireless gateway, after mail-in rebate or instant credit, for AT&T wireless customers who order new AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro or Elite, or new FastAccess Xtreme or Xtreme 6.0 broadband service. The offer is now available in select AT&T retail and dealer locations. -- Beginning July 6, new orders placed online for AT&T Yahoo! High Speed Internet Pro or Elite, or new FastAccess Xtreme or Xtreme 6.0 will qualify for a free wireless gateway after mail-in rebate or instant credit. New broadband customers will immediately benefit from the free Wi-Fi offer upon signing up for the qualified broadband plans at an AT&T retail store, online at http://www.att.com/ or through a company call center. Wi-Fi connectivity will be activated once customers receive their new broadband service and complete both the setup and the registration process as a new customer. Existing AT&T broadband customers who already subscribe to qualifying speed packages can immediately log in to AT&T Wi-Fi hot spots, at no charge, by using the master account user name and password created for their broadband service. AT&T is the premier provider of broadband service, with 12.9 million broadband lines in service as of the first quarter of 2007, with the nation's largest Wi-Fi network. --~--~---------~--~----~------------~-------~--~----~ You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "SOCALWUG" group.
