same, I see the option to renew in my account, but it just goes back to the main page.

edit: I did the chat support, and they indicated they are updating the website and the wifi plan should be back in a few hours.

Bought a $10 US Mobile pass. My laptop is selected device, I'm thinking they grab your MAC address for verification. On an AA flight right now to PVG.

SSID AA Inflight brought me to their login page. I selected 'have a pass' but it wouldn't take my US Mobile login / pass. I launched stupid iPass app... Logs me right in, no issues. I then kill iPass from running. Online now, internet is actually decent. Better than gogo ATG crap.

Not sure why AA login portal page won't take my iPass credentials. I find their desktop app annoying.

Renewing has been down for over a day now. Page currently says they are out of Wifi passes. I wonder what the real story is right now.

You don't get an iPass login with this deal, only a US Mobile login. You have to use the app for sign on.

So it sounds like they are discontinuing the program according to the rep I spoke with. Evidently this was all an iPass promotion.

SuperFlyBoy

Pretty bogus if you ask me.

If they were really trying to promote iPass, then the dimwits at iPass would have set up a page showing the plans they intended to sell.

However, there is nothing there - and their agents are CLUELESS!

Oh well - back to buying internet piecemeal - it won't be much more money as I don't fly that often to save much...and United flights use a different system anyway...

rune87

Pretty much my take, especially since iPass doesn't have "individual" subscriptions. I emailed them about a company rate as from what I've gathered it's only $25 a month. Too good to last.

SuperFlyBoy

Well, $25/month is not bad at all.

In fact, we could group together and negotiate an FT rate which could be less, I'm sure!

Just called the toll-free number and a person's name (mailbox, whatever) was mentioned! (Yes, as usual, nobody picked up)

So they have no real intention of marketing this full-force, but just have 1 guy manning this division! What a joke...

Called the main number in CA, USA - selected Sales, phone ringing - nobody picked up - another character's voicemail was mentioned...

rune87

I emailed ipass and iroam (reseller) so we will see what I can get for a result that way.

We still can not purchase the business version direct, right? Is it not the case that our office must sign up x number of folk to get to $25 or whatever a month?

SuperFlyBoy

Any updates guys?

I tried today to get a new $10 iPass from US Mobile and was only allowed to waitlist. The web claimed they were out of passes for now.

I still would like to know how one can get a business version of iPass for $25 a month.

ESpen36

I would like to know as well.

According to an iPass sales rep I've spoken with, corporate rate for 25+ users with 1 yr. commitment is $25 per month, with even lower rates at 100+ users. Includes multiple devices per user. The entire United fleet is expected to join the program before year's end. Not just UX with Gogo, but Thales and Panasonic planes, too. AA ViaSat planes will also be covered when they materialize. Considering you get the full iPass login, I'd say it's a great deal, and I would gladly sign up if someone wanted to use their corporate name and open it up to fellow FTers.

JT8D-217

There is a brand new Ipass partnership with Scandinavian Airlines
https://businessclasswifi.com/

19.95 Euro / mo (apparently auto renews until cancelled)

US Customers - you can select US as country of residence. US credit cards OK

Covers up to 3 devices

Uses Ipass client, Apple, Android, and Windows apps available.

Each device goes through the Activation process described on this (or the DL) thread. I set up an iP7, an iP7+, and an Air 2, no probs

BUT:
Can I also use the service in a SAS-airplanes or other airplanes?
Inflight Wi-Fi is not yet enabled, but it may get enabled in the future when the service is wider available.

Personally, I'm delighted with this current deal as I used to have Ipass provided by my former Megacorp and it was sweet.
Mrs JT8D and I have a 4 week Asia / PAC trip starting next week and look forward to the Ipass ease of use at hotels, airports, etc. Just to be sure, I'll check the actual onboard connectivity, or lack thereof, on DL and AA and report.
