iPhone and free Starbucks wifi

The other day I was at Starbucks and thought let's check out there new wifi for the iPhone. Not that I needed it as with the 3G internet access is fast enough for my needs, but I wanted to see how complex setting the wifi access was.

1. Access any web page and you are greeted with a screen where you need to enter your phone number:

2. Wait for a text message witn further access information. I received it in less that 20 seconds...

3. View the text message, it has a link. Click it...

4. Finally, you are connected. Now you can reenter the url where you initially wanted to go.

So all in all I'll keep using my 3g as this step is too complex. Click one button should be all it takes...Try doing the same at http://www.panerabread.com/.

Sbc.com is an ATT property it used to be their DSL offering (I believe).
