Is there an Android solution for auto login to wifi hot spot?

I have an Android-based smart phone (Sony-Ericsson Xperia X8), and I just use a prepaid SIM card for calls & SMS. I don't have a data plan since I'm almost always around a hot spot. I just use wifi when I need to connect to the net.

But the WiFi I am around most frequently is provided by a university, and it requires you to login after connecting. Not a big deal, except that I do use an SIP service for international calls, and I can only receive incoming calls through this service when connected to wifi.

While I'm at home, I don't have to do anything--the phone connects automatically to my home router. But while on campus, it connects automatically, but I still have to manually login before I get service. It would be nice if I could get my phone to passively connect AND login automatically when I'm within WiFi range.

Is there an app (or any other way) that will let me do this?

Thanks.

I use LastPass to manage a couple of WiFi hotspot login dialogs.

Try LoginBox . It's an browser app that login automatically into web sites. Maybe it will work for this purpose as well.

Boingo dies this. I'm not sure if you need a subscription with them or not to make it work.

I used this app when I had an android. It seemed to work well, I've got an iPhone and an unlimited plan now so it's been a while since I've touched it.
