T-Mobile G1™

[Nkovacs]

I don't have a tmobile phone but have for years been using the tmobile service at starbucks....has this totally gone away with the "new" AT&T service or can I still use the hotspot service?

As far as I know, AT&T has taken over the hotspots at Starbucks.

The G1 plan includes unlimited access to T-Mobile Hotspots, including Starbucks/AT&T wifi networks. The down side is T-Mobile removed the hotspot app from the Market (because it sucked), so unless you still have it installed , you won't be able to get it to connect. Glad I backed mine up. =)

They are supposed to release another version some day, but no ETA was given.

if you are still signed up for the tmobile hotpost service you were using for you laptop, yes, you can use it at starbucks.

tmob has a free roaming agreement with att(i think it came as part of the lawsuit against starbucks/att for breaking contract or something like that) 

go to starbucks, fire up the browser, choose the roaming (if i remember it's in the top right corner) , and sign in with ur tmob hotspot username and password.

The catch is that 4/5 five times, the G1 connects to the at&t and you cannot get of T-Mo's side. Clicking on "T-Mobile Customers" (top, tight side) brings you to a log-in screen which doesn't want to work with the G1.  I almost always need to reboot my phone several trimes before it actually connects to "T-MOHS", which is their side. Then again, I have encountered times when even connected to T-MOHS, I would still wind up at the at&t screen where it is asking top log-in.

HotSpot wise... are you sure that a G1 account entitles you to unlimited HotSpot access? I read over here that this was changed. I also checked through my T-Mo account info on-line and nowhere did I find information telling me that my G1 account gives me unlimited HotSpot access.

Can a T-Mo rep or moderator advise if a G1 account includes HotSpot access?
