How I Made My iPod Touch 5G Into a iPhone!

I will bring up iOS every now and then.  But not too often.  I actually do like the iPhone 6 and iPhone 6 Plus.  Apple went out of their way to keep up with the Androids in the world such as Nexus, LG, HTC, and of course Samsung.  But enough of all the blah blah.  In the image above, you see that that is not an iPhone. No? No, is correct.  It is an iPod Touch 5G 32GB model to be exact.  The reason why I am mentioning the iPod Touch now is for even so long that Apple has still have the 5G and no 6G announced.  The 5G 16GB model only cost $179.99 every now and then. While the 32GB is $239 and 64GB is usually $299.  Well, you still can download all the great iOS apps and Google and even Microsoft apps as well on the iPod Touch. You can still use iMessage and even FaceTime just an iPhone can.  The main difference is that iPhone has data network from several carriers and Wifi, while the iPod Touch only has Wifi.  Well, actually there are ways you can give your iPod Touch a data connection as well as wifi. You can use a device called the iPod Touch Sleeve or a mobile Hotspot that uses a data network connection. Not just wifi, but also data.  One particular company is called Freedompop. I have mentioned FreedomPop several times in my posts and articles. So for the new viewers and and readers, I will make this simple.  FreedomPop is a company that promises its consumers FREE Internet and Phone service for life! Yes, you all heard me right, Freedompop delivers Free texting, calling, and even data.  Well, to a limit at the least. For those that dont do too much talking and texting, you get 200 minutes and 500 texts for the free.  With data you get 500MB per month for the free.  If you around wifi all the time, this won't even touch your wallets!  Plus, there are a lot of ways to communicate with family and friends now.  You have iMessage, FaceTime, Facebook and it messenger, Skype, and even Hangouts. All have free calls, texts, and video message.  So with the Freedompop iPod Touch Sleeve or their 4G hotspot, you won't go wrong. You'll be free from any contracts and being stuck with a high bill.  This all would be free for life once you pay for your devices. But, other than that, that would be it.  Just think about all the money you would be saving by just doing this? Well, I have my iPhone. I don't have to pay anything anymore. Oh, yes, you can also do this as well with the Android smartphones.  Freedompop Apps are now available on the app store and google play store.   So, guys what do you think about all of this? Is it a hit or miss? You all can leave those comments below.
