Roam App Overview

The Roam app is the key to accessing Roam’s global WiFi OpenRoaming network in a few simple steps. Step 1 below outlines how to set up the app, while step 2 gives instructions for subsequently connecting your device to the network. After initially connecting to the network, you will not have to open the app again to reconnect. Connections will be established automatically whenever your device moves back within range of a router. This lets users travel from access point to access point while staying seamlessly connected to the network.
