Hi all,

Understand today is friday.

Does anyone know there is any free roaming software (mainly GPRS, 802.11) for downloading? I mean really free.

Best,

Sorry for the confusion.

I mean a roaming client tool which could allow you to get access in different network.

Boingo and T-mobile shook hands for WLAN and GPRS roaming project.

Best,

Geek.

I don't think that free roaming software for roaming across different networks exists yet, but if any one has it please speak up.

Thank you, Jim.

I have downloaded a software from http://pctel.com/ . In the pop up window the company claims that 10 minutes free period. I could not even test the software then the GUI of the tool is said "scanning the network" which means the connection is not set up and is hanging on . I am in starbucks with the t-mobile hotspot. Work fine for me before using their roaming tool.

Because I did not pay or ......

Please speak out and make this forum as wi-fi fan's home

Best,

From what I have experienced you do not need such of a program to do so. Your wireless card should sniff out any wifi networks available anyhow and there routers will redirect for you to their services.

Thank you for your reply!

A card can detect signal in hotspot network ( mainly for data service) but how roam to GPRS network (Mainly for voice service).

For sure I need either a software or hardware to roam among the different networks.
