I'm thinking about getting a monthly subscription for my wife and I since we like going to our local coffee shop. We'll try out a day pass, but was wondering if 2 people can share one pass/subsription?

Thanks

If you have a Panera Bread near you, go there. They have free wifi and their coffee is pretty good.

excellent suggestions, here in portland there are a ton of free wifi spots, usually the small local shops. I don't know about Cali tho.

Hot Spots is a term that designates a happening or hip place. Somewhere you'd want to be if you want to be in the heart of the action.

Since t-mobile would be the company offering the service, why don't you call them and ask? What happens if someone tells you one thing here on AT but t-mobile tells you something else? Are you going to whine and argue that some schmuck on the internet told you that you could have it your way and demand that it be so?

Contact t-mobile directly and ask for yerself, pardner!

Two at the same time is a big no-no, and will get your account locked. I have experience with this:)
The system records locations where you log in. If you log into location A and then location B at the same time, it kicks up flags, and they just lock your account till they can sort it out.

Two at the same time will not allow logon - once the second tries to log on, it now just says error - can't login, call for info.

I find the subscription is worth it; but I also find Starbucks is a good place to get work done.

Can someone tell me why this doesn't work:

Use a wireless sniffer, sniff current users on the wireless network. Once they leave, clone their IP and Mac address.
