Boingo's WiFi services

[uop1497]

Have anyone using this Boingo's WIFI service.

I have an American Express platinum card and one of the benefit is to gain a complimentary unlimited Wi-Fi access for one year. I am not sure how it works and is it worthy to create an account.

I do not know what will happens with a Boingo's account if I cancel my CC a year later. I tried to contact a Boingo customer service to get more information, but It take so long and no one answer, just a void recording message saying same thing over and over again.

If you do use it, can you please share some information. Thank you

I use the Boingo Amex plat benefit all of the time. Primarily traveling through airports. IIRC, you can connect 4 devices. Basically, you get a free account that would cost nearly $100/month for the four devices. Use the link via Amex Plat to create it. If you cancel your card, the benefit stops. As they have no way to bill you, you won't be charged. We love Amex Plat. The Centurion Lounge Access Priority Pass. Boingo. FHR. Cannot be beat.

Thanks for your reply. Will create an account tonight .

If I use Boingo's WiFi services on other country like Thailand or Singapore, do I need to buy that country's simcard.

In addition, do you know how long after I use my AMEX CC to do the verification on Boingo's website, how long I must wait before I can set up my user name and password.

Boingo works on WIFI, so as long as your are in a Boingo hotspot you are good to go-worldwide. I have used it in Thailand and Japan. Boingo isn't a cellular service, so they don't have blanket coverage like ATT or Verizon would.

Your Boingo should work immediately. Mine did.

I have free Boingo account but find it is hit or miss, mostly miss. Since it's free, no big deal but I definitely would not pay for it.

Cheers

Thank you ALL for more information.

I already create an Boingo account. I was told 4 device can be used with at the same time. Does that mean I am using the same user name and password to log in for each device. Can anyone please confirm if that how it work in places like Thailand or Singapore.

Yes, same login for four devices. It will work anywhere worldwide that Boingo has a hotspot.
