If this is real (and it looks like it) this is a huge deal. I'm often at Airports with weak cell networks but a nice AT&T hotspot staring me in the face. I've never wanted to pay for one before. If this is true it will be a big selling point.

I've been doing the Starbucks Card method of getting free wifi, but it's nice to know even that's not necessary now.

AT&T hotspots are also at McDonalds and Barnes & Noble, at least here in California. I have AT&T DSL at home, so have already had free hotspot access, but it's nice to know I can use this as a backup.

Glad this got revived. I recall a similar text message from AT&T about two months ago.
And when I tried it just didn't work. But I didn't enter the phone number like it just suggested.
We'll there is a Starbucks just down the street. Going to give it a try.
