Boingo Mobile Quick Start Guide for Android Devices
- Install the free Boingo Wi-Fi software from the Android Marketplace. You can find the application by doing a search on “Boingo” from the Market icon located in the device’s Application List. Please note that you can only download the application directly from your device.
- Create a Boingo Mobile account using one of two methods:
- From your Android device:
- Launch the installed Boingo Mobile software (located in the Application List) and select “Sign Up Now.”
- From your laptop:
- Go to https://mobile.boingo.com/signup.
- Once you have completed signup, launch the installed Boingo software from your device.
- Select “I Have an Account” and enter the username and password you created during the signup process.
- Connect to a Boingo Mobile hotspot. For a directory of locations, visit http://mobile.boingo.com/locations.
- The Boingo software will automatically detect when you’re in a Boingo hotspot. If you are in a Boingo location, an alert will appear in the notification bar. If, for some reason, you do not see an alert but you think you may be in a Boingo hotspot, simply launch the application.
- If you see a “Use Boingo here!” message, then you are indeed in a Boingo location. To connect, select “Login.”
- When the software has successfully connected the device, you will see a “Presto! You’re online.” message.
- Select “Launch Browser” and you’re ready to surf the web.
