I've been doing this for years (as recently as December 2010); I've described how to do this at http://www.cricketmx.com/articles/read/how-to-use-wireless-sg-wifi-internet-in-singapore-if-you-are-a-traveller/ Tourists can register a temporary Wireless@SG account fairly easily by sending an SMS to one of the providers.

The City of Technology is a rip of for Internet Access or Simply Not Working like wireless@sg. And as a Tourist there is no Information on free wifi whatsoever. Singapore Needs to work on this.

It is so difficult to get a connection after sign-on. It seems the network is congested in a key hotspots areas like Raffles Place, Suntec etcs. Inforcomm have to rethink of strategy on WIFI to cater for greater number of users. It is frustrating to see a large investment did not make everyone happy here. I have similar experience as well.

Wireless@SG is not user friendly. I tried to registred and was directed to different webpage (3 different operator). My local friend told me there is a website for registration and when I showed him 3 different websites, he was confused too. re-login every 3 minute inactivity is a pain in the butt. As Inmo said.... Wireless@SG SUCKS!! I agree with what you said. Wireless@SG is not user friendly. I tried to registred and was directed to different webpage (3 different operator).
