Not only does it not recognize that I’m on an iPhone and thus entitled to use their AT&T WiFi on my device, it won’t even let me log in with my AT&T Uverse credentials or my Starbucks Rewards username/password. Grrr…
Funny how when the signin fails for AT&T, it goes to T-Mobile Wireless. Kind of funny but mostly annoying. Oh well, at least Kaldi’s internet works, goodbye Starbucks until you get your Internet woes figured out.
For the last week or so I have been unable to log into my AT&T WiFi account at any of the three Starbucks here in Columbia. I have three ways to log into the new WiFi network; AT&T Uverse, Starbucks Rewards and my iPhone.
If any of these methods would work, that would be one thing, but for all mediums to be down, and for this length of time, that is crazy.
AT&T needs to get their act together.
After waiting a day to get the iPhone and avoid the massive lines and over night stays required to get one on the first day, Ryan and I packed up early and headed to San Antonio where we waited in a short line (we were number 22) for the new iPhone.
They told us they had 36 on hand in the store, 5 black 16gb, 10 white 16gb, and the rest black 8gb iPhones. Of course I wanted a 16gb and of course I wanted it in black.
Unfortunately, or so I thought, the last black 16gb iPhone was sold to the guy in front of me. However, the white one is’nt so bad after all. In fact, I like the look o the white one more than the black one so I guess in a way, I lucked out.
We got the phone no problem, I got the black inscipio case and the really nice screen protectors and pulled out my laptop to finish the setup. We figured we might as well get it all activated before leaving the store, should there be any problems.
I used my Verizon Wireless wifi card to get on the Internet and in no time at all my phone was activated and syncing up my music and applications.
I didn’t have any of the troubles other people were having in the day before and the entire deal went over just perfectly, despite was Chris Pirillo has been incessently blogging. Direct fulfillment was your own mistake Chris…
Anyways, I digress. The AT&T people did the best they could and everything went so perfectly and smoothly, not a single hiccup.
So far the new iPhone 3G is everything I was promised. Great service, great speeds, great built quality and the battery life is working out just fine for me.
No complaints from me so far but if I get anything, I’ll be sure to let you know.
So it looks like I will be getting the 3G iPhone this Saturday and I need help choosing a color. Should I get the 16gb iPhone in Black or White? I really appreciate your votes on this!
Loading ...I am leaning towards to the black iPhone, looks sleek and should not show dirt as easily. The white is luxurious but kinda not my style, I think… Hmmm… Either way they will be in a case.
Last night I had a dream I was getting my iPhone, the AT&T store was guarded by Apple employees with machine guns. It was scary.
I celebrated the day I got free internet access at Starbucks through the new contract with AT&T and my family’s AT&T Uverse subscription. Secondly, I have access though my Starbucks Rewards card.
Sadly, the transition from T-Mobile to AT&T hasn’t been too smooth.
Today I logged in to my AT&T.net account only to be logged into a T-Mobile account. It doesn’t change the quality of my service but just goes to show that no one has their head in the game.
A few weeks ago when we were in Chicago, the entire AT&T WiFi network was down, for hours. Randomly I cannot login to my account and a few friends of mine have never been able to access their two hour per day Starbucks Rewards internet.
Come on Starbucks, AT&T and T-Mobile, get your act together! Furthermore, where’s my free iPhone internet AT&T?! Hmph.
