Larger organizations have solutions like iPass for this. However they are not cheap and often even charge you for their software. Skype is free and you just pay for what you use.
When you’re on the move and need to check your email or get access to the web, Skype Access provided by Boingo* is the easy and great value way to connect.
Simply select any available public access WiFi network (the stronger the signal the better). Skype will automatically pop-up a message if you can connect to this network using your Skype Credit balance.
If you get the pop-up you’re one step from getting web access. And the best part is you pay-per-minute – no longer do you have to pay for all-day access even though you’re only in an airport for a few hours.
You’ll need our latest beta version of Skype for Mac OS X to use Skype Access. It’s currently only available for people with a Mac – but we’re working on a solution for PC too.
