T-Mobile offers customers free weekend WiFi

We've taken a shot or two at T-Mobile in our day (though only takes on the "conventional wisdom," we assure you), but we're always ones to give credit where credit is due, so we have to tip our hats to the 'Mob for rolling out a new feature that is actually beneficial to existing customers. Usually when a wireless carrier offers a new deal, it is only to entice new customers or current ones to renew their contracts, so the fact that T-Mobile is gifting all its subscribers with free weekend WiFi access at any of its 6,500 HotSpots is a refreshing change of pace. T-Mobbers need only visit a certain website while within a HotSpot's sphere of influence, where they enter their mobile number and wait for a return SMS with the necessary pass code.
Although there is no announced termination date for this program, T-Mobile's site clearly states that free WeekendFi is a limited-time offer, so our advice is to go nuts and get your download-on while the gettin' is still good.
