Hacked iPod Touch gets VoIP

Filed under: Information, News, iPhone — Grace @ 7:44 am

The process can give you some abilities to expand on the ones already built-into the loved multimedia player, and news that the iPod Touch can be turned into a phone as well is quite anticipated. The manufacturer, Apple had a WiFi Chip built-into the said device for a purpose and this might be it, but maybe set back because of more research and study. They may also have a program (real one and not hacked) in the works that can expand on the capabilities of the said media player that looks almost the same as the iPhone except it’s not a phone and it doesn’t have a camera to match.
The hack works on hacked or jacked iPods and you’ll need some additional software as well as hardware to get it going. You’ll need an after-market mic (the iPod doesn’t have one), that conveniently plugs into the sync/charging port. You’d also need to get hold of the app, SIP-VoIP which can be used on both the iPod and iPhone (for the iPhone, you might want to get better apps for there are a lot out there that work way better). Once set-up, the software has to be configured and an account created with a provider such as FreeCall or Fring with lots more alternatives within the TouchMods web site. There is a fee of course for the system is to use WiFi and subscription would be around $16 more or less and the quality of voice you get might not all be that exciting but hey, it’s a mod and it does get you to use the iPod as a phone (somewhat). The account signup would have you assigned a number (similar to a mobile) and after all has been said and done, you’re on you way to calling your friends on your iPod.
