WeRoam

From FON Wiki Beta

WeRoam is a trademark of Swiss company Comfone AG. Comfone provides roaming services to over 300 operators in 125 countries worldwide. WeRoam’s patented open roaming platform connects to nearly 60 WISPs and offers an aggregated footprint of more than 23.000 hotspots.

How can I connect to hotspots from the WeRoam global virtual broadband network?

To connect to these hotspots (or any other Roaming Partner hotspot) Foneros must have Prepaid WiFi available in their accounts.

Foneros can connect to these hotspots selecting WeRoam as Roaming-Partner/Operator and then entering their FON account details, the username is the email address associated to the FON account.

There are two kind of hotspots:

1. Hotspots that support the Web Access Platform (or WAP). After selecting WeRoam as Roaming Partner in these hotspots the landingpages are redirected to login.weroam.com where you can choose "FON" as Service provider.
2. Hotspots that don't support WAP. To use these hotspots you need to specify the Roaming Partner (WeRoam) or Service provider (FON) in the same field as the username through a prefix that can be either "weroam/FON/" or "FON/"

How to connect to hotspots that support WAP

Connecting to these hotspots is really easy, simply select "WeRoam" as Roaming-Partner/Operator, then select "FON" as Service Provider and finally enter your FON account details.

Note: The username is the email address associated to your FON account.

Here are some examples:
