I spend a lot of time at Starbucks, which has free “attwifi” for iPhone users. However, iPass now asks me login before it will allow me to use attwifi. Since attwifi is supposed to be free, I don’t want to login and be paying for something I don’t need to (iPass is billed to my employer who pays per usage).

How can I get around this, and be able to use attwifi at Starbucks without having to login to iPass?

1. The capability for auto-connect in the background is available if it is enabled for the profile activated on your Open Mobile client. If this was a new install, the activation code you used may not have auto-connect enabled. If you’re getting the iPass service from your company, they may have chosen to not enable auto-connect for iOS.

2. In most cases, you shouldn’t see the label “An iPass network” underneath your home network name listed in the Wi-Fi network list unless your home network had the same name as one of the iPass networks you’re registered to use. Even if your home network did share the same name with an iPass network, Open Mobile wouldn’t detect any iPass authentication and your normal security/login wouldn’t be affected. One possibility is that you live close to an iPass hotspot (that’s when the login notification would appear) and your iOS device is actually prompting you to connect to that hotspot rather than your home network.

Thanks for using iPass, and let me know if that helps clear things up.

Tom
