If you’ve flown with Delta in the last year, you’ve probably taken advantage of their in-flight WiFi. Delta, like most airlines, provides a fairly standard service. You can purchase access for one hour, three hours, or the entirety of your flight.
Despite the fact that Delta’s prices ($28 for the entire flight) aren’t terrible, they’re also not cheap. This is why I recently spent time in-flight on a Delta flight researching how to “hack” their WiFi and gain free, unlimited access.
The T-Mobile Option
Besides the aforementioned choices, Delta also provides a couple of other ways to gain access to free WiFi. You can use messaging apps like Messenger and Whatsapp without worrying about data caps. Despite how simple it is to send a text with this method, you can’t send any media at all, not even photos or videos.
It’s also mobile-only; logging in from a laptop doesn’t bring up the option to use the free WiFi for texting. Delta provides T-Mobile customers with one hour of complimentary WiFi service. You can use this for anything, not just instant messaging; for example, to gain access to your favorite streaming services.
To reiterate, this is a mobile-only promotion. If you’re using a desktop computer, you won’t be able to sign in as a T-Mobile customer.
If you’re a T-Mobile customer and you click the link to log in, Delta will ask for your phone number to verify that you’re a T-Mobile subscriber. While Delta can confirm whether or not a phone is using a T-Mobile sim, it cannot confirm ownership.
Because of this and the widespread use of T-Mobile phones, it’s not hard to guess a number that originates with this carrier. In the beginning, I assumed the number to be 503-851-2300, which was not a T-Mobile number.

I dialed the following number, 503-851-2301, and sure enough, it was a T-Mobile service.
Each code can only be used once, so the one up top won’t be valid.
Don’t worry, though; if you keep adding 1s or try varying the numbers in the middle, you’ll eventually get to a valid one. Everything mentioned above should get you set up with an hour of free WiFi on your mobile device.
User Agent Switching; Pretending To Be Something You’re Not
The user agent is the information that a website uses to determine which browser was used to access it. The user agent is the string of characters sent by your browser or device to the server when you visit a website.
To better understand what content to serve and what not to serve, websites can use user agents. The Delta WiFi login portal, for instance, recognizes mobile users based on their user agents and provides them with free messaging and WiFi if they happen to be T-Mobile customers.
The fact that user agents can be manipulated is crucial. You can easily make Chrome on your desktop behave like Safari on an iPhone by changing the user agent. User Agent Switcher for Chrome and Firefox extensions are the simplest means of accomplishing this.
After adding the extension, your browser will behave as if it were an iPhone.
Your new user agent should produce different results when accessing the Delta Wifi portal. Aside from the fact that the site loads differently, as though it were trying to fit a mobile site into a landscape orientation, you’ll also notice that some of the buttons have changed.
Accessing your account as a T-Mobile subscriber should be an option. For the purpose of testing the aforementioned random mobile numbers, press this button.
Renewing The WiFi
Unfortunately for T-Mobile subscribers, the free WiFi trial period of one hour has to end as all good things must. Your WiFi access will expire after one hour, at which point you will not be able to re-register for a new hour. However, there is a solution to this problem.
A MAC address is used by Delta as a unique identifier for your computer. Every gadget has its own unique alphanumeric identifier or IMEI. My caveat is that, in theory, a laptop’s MAC address could be altered.
Changing a laptop’s MAC address causes Delta’s WiFi to “forget” who you are. Changing your MAC address will prevent the T-Mobile WiFi from recognizing that your free hour has expired. By continuously switching your MAC address, you can keep your one-hour WiFi session active indefinitely.
How Do You Change Your MAC Address?
Depending on how in-depth you want to get with the technical details, there are two primary approaches to altering a device’s MAC address. Downloading software to do it for you is usually the simplest option. Software like Windows’ Technitium MAC Address Changer and Mac’s WiFiSpoof are two good examples.

You can even manually alter your MAC address if you’re feeling particularly competent with computers. Unfortunately, changing the MAC address on a mobile device is not as simple, so you can’t use T-free Mobile’s WiFi for longer than an hour.
