iRoam is a premier partner of iPass, and the original founder of the iPass technology. As of June 1st, all Tempest Telecom users have been switched over to iRoam’s network. Roaming with iRoam will improve the quality of service as we will begin the process of updating all Tempest Telecom software to iRoam’s software.
iRoam has begun the process of upgrading all Tempest Telecom customers’ software to the latest version. The upgrade process will be initiated when you launch the iRoam software client and allow the phonebook update to complete. For more information on the upgrade process please see iRoam – Tempest Upgrade document posted to the iRoam Portal at https://portal.iroam.com.
You will be able to use your old Tempest Telecom Username/Password, however all characters need to be in lowercase for the username only. Some usernames had to be changed to avoid conflict with iRoam’s current users, but a communication has been sent out to those users that will be affected by the changes. If you are experiencing any difficulty logging onto the service please contact iRoam Customer Care (see below).
If you are an Individual Tempest customer, you should be able to login to iRoam Portal with the same credentials you used with your iPassConnect software. For Corporate customers, only the administrator can login to the iRoam Portal using their Tempest username/password. Also for Corporate customers only, when they change their admin password for the iRoam Portal, it will not reflect on their iPassConnect account.
There will be no immediate price change to Tempest Telecom rates for existing Tempest customers. However, due to changes in European Wi-Fi pricing by our suppliers there will be an increase in Western Europe as of August 1st, 2008. For more details on this please view the document “Pricing Notice – Western European Wifi – June 2008”for full details.
Any new customer who would like to sign-up for our service will be charged the iRoam standard rates. To view the Tempest rates please login to the iRoam Portal at https://portal.iroam.com and go to the Documentation section.
