#gmate

Got this GMate by SkyRoam the other month but since my 4G iPod Touch and iPad2 have not been jailbroken, I wasn't able to use it. Since yesterday's release of the jailbreak for iOS 5, I've been using the GMate with my iPod Touch 4G. What GMate does is provide cellular functionality to an iPod Touch, iPad or even the iPhone. The GMate connects to the iDevices via Bluetooth, has it's own internal battery which lasts about a day and a regular SIM card slot. Once your device is jailbroken, you will need to add the GMate App and connect both devices via Bluetooth. You then tuck away the GMate in your pocket or backpack while using the cellular functions. If you don't any other Apple products, you can still use the GMate with an Android device (same principle and similar Android app is used). I'd buy a local SIM, insert it on the GMate, accept SMS from my Globe number on the iPhone and send SMS via the GMate.
