AT&T Denies Free Wi-Fi To iPhone Users
Consumers are scrambling to AT&T stores to get their own iPhone and this became even more abundant after hearing that AT&T will be bringing free Wi-Fi to iPhone users. Much to their disappointment and anger this promise was false and is no way coming true.
AT&T posted on its site Friday that it would indeed be offering free Wi-Fi, only to renege and say it was a mistake that was posted. As of Friday afternoon, the Web page that announced the arrival of free Wi-Fi had been removed. AT&T told customers in April that it would be brining iPhone users free Wi-Fi access, but has yet to make the service available.
“We have not made any announcement regarding free Wi-Fi and iPhone,” Seth Bloom - AT&T technology - told Ars Technica. “Wi-Fi is a real differentiator for AT&T and it is our intention to make it available to as many customers as possible.” AT&T is the exclusive wireless carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., having inked a five-year deal with Apple following the product’s launch last summer.
