The iPhone that isn't an iPhone that can be an iPhone


Thanks to VOIP technology, our beloved internet and the iPod Touch, you may now be able to take advantage of making calls with it.

First you will need a microphone for the Touch, such as the
Macally iVoiceIII . Then you will need a soldering iron to solder one wire on the Mmicrophone circuit board.

Thanks to Rob.tc, we gives us some good instructions
here. Basically you will need the solder a wire to two connectors within the device. Once that is done you will need the "SIP/VOIP app for the iPod Touch. You should know that it does not require jailbreaking the Touch to work, and no soldering on the Touch is needed.

Now this will allow you to make calls using your wifi access. The quality of the call is something we will consider testing and finding out. Remember that you will also need to use your headphones to hear the call.
