| How
Much Will it Cost?
The cost of
roaming varies depending on the local number you call with iPASS. We
charge a monthly fee* of $4.99 in addition to incremental usage
charges. Most United States POPs will be charged at a rate of $2.97
per hour (i2Roam bills by the second, so if you are connected for
only 3 minutes, your are billed for only 3 minutes), which is much
less than our competitors who do not charge a monthly fee, but
higher hourly roaming rate; the price for international POPs will
vary. Most of our customers come from other iPass providers who
charge no fee but higher hourly rates. In most cases, i2Roam per
hour usage rate is 30 percent less.
NOTE:
Our prices include use of SMTP Mail Transport Servers which is
critical to Internet Roaming. Most iPass providers DO NOT provide
this service because they do not know how to relay mail over their
mail servers for all 19,000 POPS! Many of our customers come to us
complaining of email transport problems with their current roaming
provider. We have solved the anti-relaying error plaguing the
internet roaming industry!

Sample Cities and lowest per hour

Paris $7.43/hr | Beijing $5.21/hr | Tokyo $5.94 | Berlin $6.75 | New
York $ 2.97/hr
Since there are over 19,000 POPs worldwide on the iPass network,
it is best to download the iPass Dialer (Click Here to Download)
then load the dialer on your computer and simply run the program.
Next to the City of choice you will see the price listed as a per
hour rate; however, i2Roam bills by the second.
i2Roam can not guarantee service in all POPs listed. We do not
control any of the POPs that are on iPASS. So if you go to South
Africa and with hopes of using the iPASS system and the numbers
provided for the area you visit are not working or you have
difficulty, you have no recourse against i2Roam or iPass.
*Invoicing and Billing
The charges for the i2Roam-iPass Global Internet Roaming service
will be on a per second charge basis and will be charged to your
personal or corporate credit card and the usage/invoice is posted
online for you to view and print out . Sorry no snail mail invoicing
available, but we do post your invoice online the same day we bill
your credit card for easy download.
Usage is based
upon pricing in the Dial-up and Broadband Regions, as described
below. Time billed is actual connect time.
*i2Roam was
the first to initiate the "Lifetime Account", many of our
competitors are now offering Lifetime accounts for half of what
i2Roam, LLC charges or no account fee at all; however, i2Roam has
been a roaming provider for many years with redundant equipment on
redundant networks, our network is second to none. Although iPass is
a trademark for service, the service is still authenticated on the
i2Roam network as well as SMTP mail service. Most of our competitors
are using a single server, one piece of equipment to run their iPass
service. We have invested substantially in Silicon Graphics IRIX,
Compaq Linux Servers, and Cisco Routers running over 3 independent
networks and 3 locations, in two States. When you are in Tokyo, you
need know that your account(s) are going to get connected, and not
be at the mercy of a thunderstorm or computer failure at the point
of authentication (i2Roam), you get what you pay for with i2Roam,
LLC.

looking to sign up more than 1 user for your company, we have
Business Plans which are usually more cost effective than the

Broadband Regions.
Only broadband POPs are included in the following Regions (each a
"Broadband Region", and together with the Dial-Up Regions,
"Regions"). The POPs included in a Broadband Region are
those commercially available as of the Effective Date of this
Agreement, and any others in such geographical area added thereafter
unless i2Roam gives Customer advance written notice of a new
Broadband Region for Broadband POPs added after the Effective Date
and the pricing associated therewith, in which case such POPs shall
be included only in such new Broadband Region, and not in any of the
Broadband Regions listed below.
BROADBAND
PRICING EFFECTIVE NOVEMBER 15, 2002: iPass is redefining the
standard for Broadband Access pricing effective November 15, 2002.
Broadband usage will be based up on the same regional pricing as the
Dial-Up regions, and be pro-rated to the second, as with the dial-up
access. Some providers offer similar plans today, but typically
require a monthly minimum or monthly access fee. iPass's Global
Broadband Roaming (GBR) plan is a "pay as you go" pricing
model, eliminating the multiple full day usage charges that users
have had to incur if they accessed broadband at airport terminals
and hotels in the same day. The pricing effective November 15, 2002,
is:
