Not every provider has approved tethering with your iPhone. Some countries even have a netlock installed on their devices and Apple has locked up access to most parts of the iPhone OS for any user.

There are a few jailbreak solutions out there and I had an early try with QuickPWN which didn’t work out as expected. After that I didn’t even bother trying out yellowsn0w or any of the other colored snow cracks. Continue reading “iPhone 3.1.2 jailbreak: Net, SIM, Tethering lock – unlock it all” »

Es gab noch ein paar günstigere Angebote, doch ich habe mich dann für den günstigsten Händler mit vielen guten Rezensionen entschieden.

Bestellung aus UK

Die Bestellung geht genauso einfach wie auf allen Amazon Platformen. Das eigene Amazon Konto funktioniert auch für die ausländischen Webseiten von Amazon und die Bezahlung mit Kredikarte ist auch kein Problem. Die Ersparnis beim derzeitigen Umrechnungskurs ist schon gewaltig, Continue reading “Erfahrungsbericht: Apple Time Capsule 1TB günstig kaufen in UK” »
