I took the new laptop to Starbucks this weekend to do a bit of homework, and much to my surprise I was able to get on the intaratron for free as I’m an existing T-Mobile customer. Apparently they have a limited time offer for existing T-Mobile customers to get free Wi-Fi at any T-Mobile Hot Spot during the weekend. Cool stuff, though I’d rather just go to an indie coffeeshop and get it for free anytime.

Basically all that you have to do is fire-up your browser at a Hot Spot Location, find the “free weekend” link (though it’s kind of buried), enter in your phone number in the form, and they will text you back a code to use which is good for a month. You can read more about the process here.

Major Hotspots seem to include Starbucks, Borders, Kinko’s, and various areas in major airports, though it’s probably best to use the Hot Spot locator to find it near you.
