Easy Wi-Fi for AT&T
November 30th, 2008 by John
A new version of Easy Wi-Fi specifically for iPhone users with AT&T plans went live in the app store over the holiday weekend. This version is trivial to set up – you just need to enter your 10 digit AT&T iPhone number into the settings page – and simple to use: connect to the Wi-Fi network, launch the app and it will log you in. Much simpler than typing your phone number in each time, waiting for the SMS from AT&T and then clicking the link in that to get connected.
In addition to all the AT&T Wi-Fi network locations (like Starbucks), it will also connect you to all the networks that have just click through web pages in our list of supported networks. And we’re working on an option to allow you to unlock this version and add more networks, using our web portal.
By the way, if you already have the original, multi-network, version of Easy Wi-Fi, then you don’t need this one: you can simply add the AT&T Wi-Fi (iPhone) plan to your Devicescape account and you will have the same capabilities.
Do you run a Wi-Fi network? Would you like a version like this specifically tailored for your network? If so, contact us and we’ll talk about what we can do for you.

I added this to two iPhone 3Gs in our household. One iPhone worked perfectly. The other iPhone (sam model) gives me an error when trying to add the AT&T phone number that says “Server Error Saving New Information – please try again later. [301].
I have tried rebooting iPhone, deleting app and re-downloading it, nothing! HELP!

Hello Stephen,
Should be working now – we had a little glitch in the server last night.
Sorry for the inconvenience,
John…

J.B.
Most likely you are trying to use a phone number that doesn’t have an AT&T iPhone plan. Remember, we’re simply sending the number you give us to AT&T and they’re saying “you don’t have the rights to use this service”.
There are some cases reported where there have been problems with phone numbers which have been ported from other service providers (e.g Spring, Verizon) to AT&T. If that’s the case, AT&T still haven’t figured out completely that your phone is one of theirs. If you can log in via the SMS/Safari mechanism manually, I don’t know why you get this error, but it’s an AT&T problem.

Hello azucena,
You need to be connected to the internet, but you set up the application from its own settings page. You don’t need to use a browser or visit any other sites.
HTH,
John…
