Boingo "Best Option" for iPhones
In a June 28th Macworld article about locating Wi-Fi hotspots for the iPhone, Boingo was hailed as "the best option" for iPhone users who are interested in paying for Wi-Fi access in public places. Boingo's low-priced service plans – a $21.95 Unlimited account for North American access and a $39 Global account for International access – give iPhone users access to 100,000+ hot spots with one convenient log-in and password.
The iPhone, unlike many smartphones, has a fully capable browser that allows it to interact with rich Web content, instead of stripped down WAP- or PDA-centered pages. This allows iPhone users to use the established login pages on Wi-Fi hotspots, which frequently include code not compatible with simplified browsers. For Boingo partner networks, users can log in via the "Roaming Partners" option that exists on most login pages.
