Boingo Wifi in Seoul
I was in Seoul over the weekend and I couldn't get Boingo to work.
When I tried to sign up with multiple providers using Boingo it kicks me back to the start screen. No error message no nothing.
What procedure needs to be done so I could use wifi around Seoul?
Boingo shows full map covered.

Im actually having this same issue as well. Im currently in Seoul. This is the first time in all the years that I've had boingo that I've ever had an issue using my boingo acct with olleh or t wifi here in korea. I'm really frustrated...Im contacting Boingo CS but if anyone has any solutions please let me know!

Yes literally every provider.
I was all over seoul from Walkerhill to Gangnam to Chosun to Incheon to Lotte.
Every fricking provider did not work! Very frustrating.

Checking in as well. Stayed in Seoul the entire time in Dec. My Android phone NEVER could connect using the Boingo app in my entire time there. My wife's iPhone connected once, then never again. Very disappointed in the service... I won't really care if Amex drops this as a perk.

For my 10 day trip and suffering without Boingo working properly, on day 9 I managed to find a perfect solution to this problem!
Simply connect to the secured (WPA2) "ollehWiFI" SSID - it will prompt for your username and password, which you just input as:
[email protected]
yourpassword
Voila!
I suspect it will also work for the "T wifi zone_secure" but I haven't had a chance to try it yet.

I had it work in Seoul also. Same process. App is garbage but was able to use the website to log into Olleh Wifi using my Boingo credentials. I was not able to use it on T wifi zone. I only tried it once though. I was able to get to the roaming partners page but my credentials were not working. I had a cell phone plan with data so I really didn't try logging into the T wifi zone too much.
