AT&T teased its iPhone customers with a false report on Friday that it was finally making good on its promise to bring free Wi-Fi access to iPhone users.

AT&T posted on its site Friday that it would indeed be offering free Wi-Fi, only to renege and say it was a mistake that was posted. As of Friday afternoon, the Web page that announced the arrival of free Wi-Fi had been removed.

AT&T told customers in April that it would be brining iPhone users free Wi-Fi access, but has yet to make the service available.

The page originally read:

"AT&T knows Wi-Fi is hot, and free Wi-Fi even hotter, which is why we are proud to offer iPhone customers free access to the nation's largest Wi-Fi hotspot network with more than 17,000 hotspots, including Starbucks. Now users can relax and access music, e-mail and web browsing services with their favorite blend in hand from the comfort of their favorite location."

However, AT&T spokesperson Seth Bloom told technology Web site Ars Technica that posting the page was an error and that AT&T was not yet ready to roll out free Wi-Fi for iPhone users.

"We have not made any announcement regarding free Wi-Fi and iPhone," Bloom told Ars Technica. "Wi-Fi is a real differentiator for AT&T and it is our intention to make it available to as many customers as possible."

AT&T is the exclusive wireless carrier for the iPhone in the U.S., having inked a five-year deal with Apple following the product's launch last summer.
