Boingo Wireless has announced that iPhone (News - Alert) owners can enjoy free Wi-Fi while traveling through 13 North American airports.
This special limited time offer is available during August for all iPhone owners who access the Wi-Fi networks with their iPhone. Through this offer, Boingo is giving these users an introduction to the world’s largest aggregated Wi-Fi network.
Interested iPhone owners can sign up for and use a Boingo account to access hundreds of partner networks comprising 100,000+ hotspots. Thanks to Boingo Wireless, users of Apple’s (News - Alert) new smartphone can enjoy the iPhone’s highly integrated functionality and multimedia applications while powered by Boingo’s broadband networks.
“iPhone users are searching for Wi-Fi options that will keep the device’s coolest features and content functioning at lightning speeds when on-the-go,” said Dawn Callahan, Boingo’s vice president of consumer marketing in a statement.
Callahan continued: “With our extensive hot spot coverage, choosing Boingo is a no-brainer for iPhone users who are looking for public access options beyond EDGE. This free promotion is a great opportunity for iPhone users to see for themselves.”
The company explains that users can enjoy complimentary Boingo Wi-Fi on the iPhone, by following these easy steps:-
Users can connect to the “concourse” SSID with an iPhone in any of the identified airports; launch their iPhone Safari browser and connect to a web page on the Internet; enter their e-mail address in the special promotional page; click on “Go!”
The iPhone boasts a fully capable browser allowing it to interact with rich Web content, instead of stripped down WAP- or PDA-centered pages. iPhone users can therefore use the established login pages on Wi-Fi hotspots, which frequently include code not compatible with simplified browsers. Users can log in via the “Roaming Partners” option that exists on most login pages for Boingo partner networks.
