Wireless LAN internet access in Frankfurt

anyone know of any cafe's etc in FFM where it is possible to access a free wireless internet connection? someone said that Starbucks may do this..

would be nice to find somewhere where u can surf with your own laptop and enjoy a coffee etc

Starbucks in Munich does, so I presume it's the same for FFM.

just got this from googling:

Bellcaffe

They pack a whole lot of charm into this tiny, but very well located, new-founded espresso bar. The ingredients for the sandwiches as well as the ice cream are a direct import from Italy, as is, importantly, their exceptionally delicious coffee. Made with care and flair by Riccardo who owns the place, this is a good place to relax with great coffee, make use of free WLAN internet access and scarf down some homemade cake in a full-on lounge, coffee a go-go atmosphere. They call it C’ounge. Really.

AFAIK the wireless connections in Starbucks aren't free: Starbucks are in a worldwide partnership with T-mobile to equip all their coffee shops with hotspots. However, you do have to pay for access. Very popular with business-type road warriors I understand.

I have heard before that Bar Celona on Holzgraben has a spot for their patrons, but I haven't tried it first hand.

HTH.

If you have a T-mobile phone contract or a T-Online account, you should be able to use your phone # or logon in info on any T-Mobile hotspot. They also have roaming agreements with other companies, to let you surf and have your phone/internet bill charged.

anyone have any updates on this? I've found myself captured in Frankfurt for the weekend.

Thanks!

There everywhere nowadays.. Just trun on your Wifi device, find an open Accesspoint and surf...

I was in Frankfurt for half an hour and managed to find one for free.

I don't know if it's provided by, but it's accessible from Cafe Extrablatt near Eschenheimer Tor U-Bahn, it's on the corner Schillerstraße. The coffee was good, and the waitresses were cute. Any for smokers, there's an 'outside' smoking area
