Guest WiFi Access

We are trying to determine a better way to provide guest access.  Currently, because of concerns over being classified 
as an ISP with respect to CALEA, our network is "private", and all access must be authenticated.  Guests must make 
contact with a staff or faculty member with access to a manual system to generate a username / password for the guest 
to use to get on the network.  We would like to move towards a more self-serve model where guests can authenticate 
themselves.  We know there are SMS / E-mail systems that would allow a guest with a smart phone / 3G access the ability 
to register.  Are there free (for the Guest) CC systems that just use the card number to authenticate the user?  What 
are you using to provide self-serve guest authenticated guest access to your networks?
