To be able to use those wifi locations you need to have an iPhone data plan or blackberry/ smartphone data plan. Basically $30 a month and the password is your cell #.

sweet I've always wondered how that worked, but yeah if the password is your cell #, is the username the same? I've never used one but was kinda curious on this too.

Funny thing is, every "AT&T Hotspot" in my area is just some free bubble like Starbucks or McDonald's anyway lol. What a rip.

Not true, at least Starbucks for example has no free option. McD's does though, just used it

I could not find anyway to make this work. I looked at all the docs for how to do it with Blackberry, iPhone, and WinMo. Blackberry/iPhone do it automagically some how, and WinMo you down load an app that logs you in, so I am not sure there is a way presently with Nexus... at least nothing I found yet.

So I asked AT&T about this, and according to them, as long as you have the $30 smart phone plan, you can do this with the Nexus. You use the same number/passwd to log on that you use to log on to their wireless site to pay your bill/etc. But you MUST have the $30 Smart Phone plan... not the $10 or $15 ones that some of us had.

Still need to test this, but they seemed sure it would work.
