Does AT&T still force connection to attwifi?
Radiation is good
Hey all, I'm restless yet again with my current provider and thinking about moving back to AT&T prepaid. Last time we were on AT&T, the sim was forcing our phones to connect to attwifi hotspots. It would often interrupt data connections and it was never useful, plus I have no desire to connect to any public wifi. Just curious if the sim profiles are still forcing you to connect to attwifi on iPhones. Any recent experiences? Thanks!

Why yes, that is a bag phone
I haven't seen that behavior in years. That said, I never found to it be problematic when it did happen.Originally Posted by Shade00

Thanks all. This behavior was still occurring on my wife's prepaid SIM about 6 months ago. It was an older SIM from some time ago so maybe they don't do it anymore.

My wife has been on AT&T Prepaid for over 1-3/4 years, and what you described is not a thing, at least not on her Pixel 3a.

What phone? Did you disable that behavior in the phone settings?

iPhone Xs. It would allow you to disable autojoin, but behavior was similar to Xfinity Mobile, where it would force you to join the hotspots. Other people seem to have experienced this behavior as Google does bring up similar experiences.

I've been with ATT prepaid since I got my first cell phone many years ago and never experienced this.

Same experience here, is this specific to AT&T and iPhone?
