Back in 2008, T-Mobile lost the WIFI deal with Starbucks and overnight every Starbucks has AT&T WIFI on it. For T-Mobile customers, they almost freaked out thinking they no longer have access to WIFI in Starbucks. T-Mobile clarified that the roaming agreement would still be in place for a few years. But if you ever go into a Starbucks, they really made it tough to connect because there’s no help or icons made available. Anyhow this post is to help T-Mobile customers who wants to connect to Starbucks AT&T WIFI successfully.

Follow these steps!!!

When you first connect your laptop to Starbucks AT&T WIFI, you will get the Starbucks homepage. At the top, you can see if you are an AT&T customer, you can connect very easily. But if you are not, you don’t see any help, icons, or search topics that will give you any hints to help. And I even went to the length of searching through old links and tried http://hotspot.t-mobile.com where the laptop would tried to connect but failed. A few times I would give up simply because I thought the T-Mobile connection is down. But that’s really not the case.

THE TRICK HERE IS THIS: You need to type in a bogus login and password at the top and click the “Connect to the Internet” button !!!!

When you do, out comes an other login page. You can now see a number of connection options. The one we’re interested in is the link called “Roaming Options” on the left. GO click that please…
