I hate texting, and I wasn't going to pay extra for a service I don't use. I had AT&T turn off texting completely on my account so I wouldn't have to pay $.20 for every unsolicited text message sent to me. Does this mean I have no way of getting to use the Wifi at Fivebucks?</p> What if you have SMS turned off on your AT&T plan? I hate texting, and I wasn't going to pay extra for a service I don't use.

Don't they know that phone belongs to an active subscriber? Why do we need to do anything? Honestly 3G is fast enough to me for most browsing, this sounds like logging in will take more time than I would gain from the speed of wifi.</p> Doesn't AT&T know the MAC address of my phone?

After entering my phone number, I got a screen saying "unable to complete your connection. Please try again later." This happened to me at 3 different Statbucks on several different days. So I called AT&T Internet services ( not wireless) and they fixed it for me. It now works with no problem. 888-888-7520</p> I had a problem connecting, too.

I got the right screen because it asked for my phone number. I tried it a couple of time to make sure I was enter the information correctly but to no avail. Maybe not all Starbucks are up to date or something. I'll try again some other time.</p> I tried it this weekend as well and got a message that the service wasn't working and to try again later.

I got the flash screen and logged in my phone number and waited. Nothing! Then I tried again. Nothing! I finally got the txt messages about an hour later. I was long gone by then. Why can't my username and password be the same as my AT&T account on the web? I just log in and no waiting for txt messages.</p> I vistied a Starbucks yesterday and tried it.

Neither did his second attempt. I didn't bother trying as we were only there for a moment. I have actually been having a LOT of problems with missing text messages lately, so they either need to fix that or figure out a way to do this that doesn't involve sending messages.</p> My roommate tried this last night and his text message never arrived.
