FREE WIFI @ Starbucks

Starbucks is now offering free, unlimited Wi-Fi access at nearly 7,000 company-operated locations across the United States. The policy change came into effect Thursday a little over two years after Starbucks began offering two hours of free Wi-Fi to Starbucks card holders. Now, however, the time limits are gone, and you can enjoy unlimited free Wi-Fi at your local Starbucks any time you like for as long as you like.

Starbucks is offering free Wi-Fi at all of its company-operated locations, which means most of the Starbucks locations you visit on a daily basis will have free Wi-Fi. The exceptions will be the stores inside special locations such as airports, Target stores and Barnes & Noble locations. Free Wi-Fi access at these locations may vary. You can use theStarbucks Store Locator to find the closest shop near you.

How to Get Online

Before you get started, make sure you are connected to the right Wi-Fi hotspot. Typically, Starbucks access points are called attwifi--AT&T is the hotspot provider for Starbucks. If you are unsure which access point to use, ask a Starbucks staff member for help or call AT&T technical support at 1-888-888-7520.

After you're on the right network, all you have to do is fire up your browser and you'll arrive at a landing page similar to the one you see above. Just check the box that says you agree to Starbucks' Terms and Conditions and Acceptable Use Policy, click 'Connect' and you're off and running.

Landing Page

Your first stop once you connect will be Starbucks' free Wi-Fi landing page that includes videos, blogs and other content from Starbucks. 

So enjoy your cup of coffee while browsing the internet. But do remember that this is a public accessible network and security precautions must be taken while browisng.
