AT&T sending out SMS to confirm free iPhone WiFi at Starbucks

Oh, so you know what's hot, huh AT&T? Is flipping the on / off lever back and forth a gazillion times on this finicky Starbucks iPhone WiFi plan hot? Because it feels downright cold over here. While we can only hope and pray that this is the signal to finally close the book on this ridiculous saga, AT&T users all over the US are receiving text messages from AT&T confirming that free Starbucks WiFi (for iPhone owners) is on. Reportedly, the message indicates that their iPhone purchase gives them access to two hours of gratis use per day, though we'd go in with the lowest possible expectations in order to not be let down (again). Good luck, mettlesome ones.

[Thanks, Boy Genius]

Does this work for iPod Touch owners, too?

No it won't. It asks for a phone number & than sends you a text message with a link.

This is just an attempt to improve traffic in Starbucks stores. I went to Starbucks today and spent $4.80 on one drink! I only go one a month now compared to the one I week I used to go.
