Get FREE WiFi For 3 Months!

For the release of Microsoft new operating system Windows Vista, T-Mobile is offering 3 free months of their hotspot service. The catch is you have to be running Windows Vista...or do you? Here is a quick little "hack" to get 3 months of free WiFi access at Starbucks, Borders, FedEx-Kinkos, hotel chains, etc. The best part, there's no need to be running Windows Vista. It turns out that they only use the agent information for validation. So that enables us to spoof it! Here's how to do it.

1. Download the Firefox extension for spoofing user-agents:
https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/59/

2. Restart Firefox and goto:
Tools > User Agent Switcher > Options > Options... \

3. Click "User Agents" and then "Add"

4. Fill out the window with following info:

Description: Internet Explorer 7 (Windows Vista)
User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0)
App Name: Microsoft Internet Explorer App Version: 4.0
(compatible; MSIE 7.0; Windows NT 6.0) Platform: Win32

5. Save it and go to Tools > User Agent Switcher >
Then click the newly added one.
Browse over to http://hotspot.t-mobile.com/vista/
There you should be redirected to a trial sign-up page.

This offer ends on April 30, 2007.
