Cindi Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 Another question...this time about VOOM I purchased the surf and stream internet package for one device while it was recently on sale for $12 a day. I’ve read some conflicting details online. Something I read today (from 2018) said that the one device means one device at a time on WiFi. I was under the impression that it meant one and only ONE device can access the WiFi. Is the device I sign in with the first time the only one that will be able to access the internet or can I switch between my phone and iPad as long as I don’t try to use both at the same time. I am sailing on Saturday on Grandeur...out of Baltimore. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
KJ1231 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 It means one device at any given time. If you have a phone and a laptop only one device can be connected to the WiFi at any given time. You connect to the WiFi using the access code you will receive when you get to your cabin. If you want to disconnect one device and connect another you need to open a web browser on the connected device and go to "logoff.com" in order to allow another device to connect. Just disconnecting from the WiFi won't work. tiny260 and princevaliantus 1 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You're using "one" and "concurrent" wrong which will confuse the user even more. Eliminate the word concurrent as concurrent means "two or more things done at the same time". In this case, only ONE device can be connected to the Wifi, not two. Just clarifying usage. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Atlantix2000 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 As far as I know, there is also no limit on the number of devices used with VOOM. So you could have a family of 10 sharing a one device plan as long as you can figure out who gets to use it when! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tiny260 Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 There is a logoff command and a login (I think) command that is done through your browser so as long as you this you should be ok, but if you fail to log off device 1 before using device 2 you will have a problem. My wife does this constantly if we only get 1 device, she mainly uses her iPad but some times needs her phone, so she just log the iPad out and then log's her phone in. We been on enough cruise's that her devices know the wifi so it's usually pretty easy. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
packercruising Posted April 3, 2019 Report Share Posted April 3, 2019 If there are two people in the cabin, purchasing the one device package simply means you can not both be logged in at the same time. Basically you are paying for 1 log in ID and password. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
