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. For access to the world's largest Wi-Fi network with your iPhone and laptop, sign up for Boingo now at www.boingo.com.
