AT&T offers free WiFi for iPhone users

I bought an iPhone at eBay and opened access to internet through my
wireless router and COMCAST Internet Modem and worked several weeks
with a prepaid, but empy, SIM card on it. Last month I transferred my
AT&T cell phone SIM card to it for 3 weeks until I received a bill
from AT&T for $106 dollars for internet services plus the normal
monthly bill for cell phone.

I asked AT&T to reverse the charge on the grounds of not having used
their phone infrastructure to access internet and that I had already
paid the said service to COMCAST. In other words I was paying doble
for every Kb I downloaded to my iPhone. AT&T did not accept my
reasons to reverse the charges.

Now I use the iPhone with the prepaid but empty SIM Card, and no
phone service, and perfectly access internet at no extra cost, using,
of course, my COMCAST Router and Modem thru WiFi, Safari and its HTML
email. No need of Edge or 3G.

I wonder if I can fill a claim at a Federal Agency for the money I
had to pay AT&T.

If you use your iphone, and you use wifi, for example your own house, is it for free? or do you need to pay for using the internet?

i would think it's free, since youre using your own wifi from your house

Some have also reported this working with any phone number. I haven't tried so I can't verify.

Confirmed success at multiple Richmond VA area Starbucks locations.

You can use this on your laptop if you change the Safari user agent. Then just browse the net on your laptop :)

I expected this to happen, doesn't mean I am not happy and surprised!

Didn't work for me at a Barnes & Noble in Livonia, MI. When I tried, I got the standard list of payable options, coupons or to use a membership. Is it possible that not all B&N locations have this up and running yet, or do I need to change iPhone settings?
