Gain local-call access to the Internet from every major city of the world through IGS's
True Global Internet Roaming service enabled through iPass. This is a cost-effective
solution for business travelers and telecommuters who must make long distance telephone
calls to access their Internet accounts at home or at their workplace.
What do you need to use the service?
All you need is the iPass Dial Wizard, Windows 95 and your IGS account. In just a few
seconds, with a simple point-and-click interface, the iPass Dial Wizard enables you to
connect to the Internet with a local phone call from every major city in the world. You
maintain one account with IGS, continue to use the web browser and e-mail program of your
choice, and always use the same user ID and password. IGS provides you with the iPass Dial
Wizard at no additional cost.
We will soon be releasing Dial Wizards to support Windows 3.1 and Macintosh.
What are the benefits?
The benefits of using the iPass global internet roaming service are:
- Roaming charges are significantly less than long distance charges.
- Log into a local number all over the world with one account.
- Access all Internet services such as e-mail and WWW.
- Use existing (and familiar) web browser/e-mail.
- Receive only one bill for all Internet and roaming charges.
How does it work?
The use of intelligent routing and iPass RoamServer software that resides on IGS's system
make this roaming service possible. iPass provides a service between IGS and other ISPs
around the world to enable their customers to be authenticated when dialing into each
other's services.
All you must do is have an account with IGS. When you travel, you dial into local number
and you log in with the same user ID and password, but include your domain name after your
user ID, (e.g., user@city.igs.net). In effect, you are still logging into the
Internet via IGS, even though you are dialing in through a different provider. You can
continue to use your regular web browser, e-mail program or newsgroup software.
 This service is brought to you through our partnership with iPass
