I was able to use my wifi only iPad at Starbucks the other day, so I could watch a baseball game with the MLB 2010 app. I bought a Starbucks card with $5.00 on it, which according to them gives me 2 hours of free wifi each day. I was able to watch the full game, which ran approx 3 hours with no...

When you say AT&T phone customer, are you referring to a LAND LINE? In speaking to AT&T today they were very clear that if you were only an iphone customer you do not get unlimited wifi access at Starbucks. DSL service does get you unlimited wifi access.

KronicKaos, thanks for the reply. I was trying to see if free wifi access was available from Starbucks, WITHOUT having to pay them money. I now see its free for iPhone, and not free for wifi iPad. Thanks. I've gotten a $5.00 Starbucks gift card, and will try it the next time the METS are playing...

I just spoke to AT&T via phone. here is what I was told: 1. Starbucks FREE unlimited wifi is for the iPhone only. 2. AT&T advised I purchase & register a $5.00 Starbucks card. 3. This will allow me 2 free hours per day. 4. Additional hours must be purchased. 5. McDonalds/Barnes & Noble have no...

This is second hand info, but I was listening today to the latest episode of THIS WEEK IN TECH, and Leo Laporte reported that AT&T said the unlimited plan is REALLY unlimited. There is no 3gig/5gig, etc ,etc limit. Win

Thanks for the heads up, i'll look into the Starbucks card thing. Where are folks getting the info that it will be FREE with the 3G iPad? I haven't seen that documented anywhere, and purchasing the 3G iPad doesn't mean you need to actually purchase 3g coverage from AT&T. I wonder if the FREE...

As far as Starbucks go, Yes, i'm using Safari, but i'm not sure what its looking for in regards to login/password. All the local McDonalds in my Area are open. No need for a login screen at all. I've been able to use the iPad and the Iphone with no issues. I guess Starbucks is only allowing...

I've tried to use my iPad at my local Starbucks, but haven't had any luck. The iphone works fine, but I get a login page on the ipad, and I'm not sure what to type for the login/password. I've tried my AT&T account info (phone # & password), but that doesn't work at all. Win
