First off, we don't support pirating at all.  We think that all developers should be given credit and payment for their work - if you pirate you are not giving them that credit.  Appulo.us suggests usings its database as a trial period, We suggest the same.  This is simply a guide on how to do it - for educational purposes if you want to set up your own database to test from.  We do not have any affiliations with any other body.


Alright, first off, you're iPhone (Everything here works for the iPod touch as well, iPhone is simply more universal to say) needs to be running at least OS 2, and it needs to be jailbroken with Cydia installed.  If you haven't gotten that far, get that far.  Then come back here and read the rest.

Skype + iTouch = iPhone

Well, almost.  You still need WiFi to actually make calls, but if you are like me, and have WiFi everywhere you go... it's pretty damn close.

You don't even need to jailbreak your iTouch.  If you use a free application like Fring or Nimbuzz, you can sign into your Skype Account.  As long as you have credit (I got Unlimited to US and Canada - Come on, it's $3 a month), you can call people from your iTouch.  Mind you, you will need some way to input sound (the 2 generation iTouch supports the iPhone Headphones, the ones with the mic on it), but once you get that.... it works.

So, I mean, thinking about it, it is an investment.  You need the iTouch, the headphones, and the Skype.  But when you compare that to how much an iPhone plan costs... you save after the first year (depending on how big your iTouch is).  I'm really excited to start calling people.  I'll let everyone know what the quality is like.

Next step though... Jailbreak it.

UPDATE:  I haven't jailbroken the iPod yet, but I have made calls from it.  I called my Dad (From the east coast to the west coast) and there was some lag in the conversation - on my part I think.  I'm going to see if that was a distance problem, but I suspect it may be like that for most conversations, which is really disappointing.  I'll work on more details.  But to make it clear - I can call people from my iTouch now.

Jailbreak iTouch Second Generation

So, perhaps you got a new spiffy iTouch and want to know what else you can do with it.  Well, I did, and I want to jail break it.  However, due to a lack of a untethered jailbreak, we are stuck with a tethered one.  If you don't know what that means, read this post.

But, now, in theory, a tethered jailbreak is getting easier and easier with QuickTether.  This program will allow you to get a tethered jailbrake done quickly and efficently.  If it worked.  At the moment, the author of the program is busy fixing many bugs which users have submitted.  Mind you, the program was released for download yesterday, so bugs are understandable.  Hopefully in the next few days we will have the program back and working well.
