AT&T says Wi-Fi hotspots “included” in iPhone plan

Geez, AT&T, make up your mind already. First you’re giving free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users. Then you take it away again. Now you’re saying that it’s included in the calling plans?

An eagle-eyed reader over at MacRumors.com pointed out that if you go to AT&T’s iPhone page and hit the “Plans” section, you can read in the teeny-tiny print below the table of different plans the following:

“Included Features: Nationwide Long Distance and Roaming, Access to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots, Voicemail, Call Forwarding, 3-way Calling and Caller ID. [emphasis added]”

So, if nothing else, that would seem to confirm the idea that the AT&T hotspots that were offering free access merely jumped the gun on a more formal announcement. Perhaps just like the guy in charge of updating AT&T’s website.

Update 4:52PM ET: Surprise, surprise! The page has been updated, and the access to AT&T Wi-Fi hotspots feature has been removed. And the cycle begins anew.
