10:43 PM Unknown , 0 Comments

It is a fact that the iPhone (and now the iPad as well) has been one of the most successful product of the century and has become a dream purchase for many. Also the continually-increasing 3G infrastructure upgrades and growing number of WiFi networks across the globe have boosted data speeds.
In tandem with this growth, almost every broadband provider have built their own apps with various applications in mind. Here I have listed three (3) must-have apps categories with two (2) apps each for a total of 6 apps.

Speed Testing apps

  • SpeedTest.net is a free speed analysis service for all types of broadband connections. This service is provided by Ookla to help users to identify the speed and performance of their internet connection to ensure reliability from their service provider. Also iPhone users can test their mobile internet services like Edge, 3G and WiFi with an exclusive speedtest.net mobile app that can be downloaded from the Apple app store. The latest speedtest.net app is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch can run download, upload and ping test from various choices of servers across the world.

  • 3G Test is a free iPhone app created by Junxian Huang, which can be used to test the speed and performance of the Edge, WiFi and 3G networks. 3G Test app indicates the local and global IP addresses, upload and download speed, signal strength, DNS lookup, ping test results, TCP connection strength and much more. This app can be downloaded and installed in iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.

WiFi Finder apps

  • BTFON WiFi is a free iPhone and iPad app which can be downloaded and used to identify the WiFi hotspots available nearest to the user in UK. BT offers almost two million free WiFi hotspots in UK and 400,000 WiFi hotspots across the globe. So it might be hard for the users to locate the nearest WiFi zone. So BT has introduced the BTFON WiFi app which can scan for the available wireless networks and show the one nearest the user. Also users might not need to remember the username and password every time to login. Instead the app would store the login information once for all and can be login just by a single touch.
Easy WiFi iPhone/iPad app

  • Easy WiFi is another free iPhone app which allows users to access the Easy WiFi networks which is one of the largest WiFi networks in the world with around 300,000 WiFi hotspots. Easy WiFi app allows users from different WiFi networks to login to the Easy WiFi networks automatically. Also users can find the access locations, login automatically, provide free Easy WiFi networks usage, integrate with social networks like Facebook, YouTube, Google apps, etc, add multiple accounts, etc.

Free Calling

  • Viber iPhone app provides free international calling facility from the iPhone without using the mobile minutes. Users can call to any one across the globe who is on Viber either using the 3G or WiFi network. Viber iPhone app can be downloaded and used instantly. Some of the most important features of the app are: it does not include any hidden costs or charges even for international calling, free of ads, no registration or login info is required, highlights Viber users from the contacts, free calls to all Viber users, automatically gets the Viber number if the users knows the phone number, great sound quality and is compatible with iPhone, iPad and iPod Touch.
Skype iPhone app

  • SKYPE is one of the most used iPhone apps which can be used to make and receive free calls and text messages, nationally or internationally. It also does not use any voice plan, instead uses the 3G or WiFi data plans. But Skype iPhone app outfits Viber by allowing calls even to mobile phone numbers and devices other than iPhone.
These are some of the most essential broadband apps which would help iPhone and iPad users who are on the 3G and WiFi networks.

There’s no doubt that the Apple iPad is one of the hottest gadgets currently available and is top of many wants lists. However, without the right SIM card deal in place you’ll never really exploit the full potential of this must-have technology accessory.
The iPad SIM card is a small slip of plastic similar to the SIM card in your cell phone but they are unique to the iPad. The iPad Sim then allows your 3G-enabled iPad to connect to a 3G network and you would pay for the data either on a contract or on a pay-as-you-go plan.
While the iPad is certainly not a cheap device to buy in the first place, at least your broadband card and plan doesn’t have to be as well. One of the best ways of making sure that you secure the best mobile broadband deal to go with it is to utilize the services of a free comparison website where you can can analyze all the options available in one go.
Being such a new device, there are not currently a huge number of iPad SIM card deals, but still enough for a comparison site that will allow you to pinpoint the best deal to suit your needs. The main things to look out for when you carry out a comparison are the set-up cost, the contract duration unless it’s a pay-as-you-go deal, along with speed and download options.
The latter aspect is particularly important if you spend a lot of time online and expect to download a great deal of content. In terms of packages, a pay-as-you-go option is fine for the more lightweight Internet user or for anyone who hates contracts.
On a contract option you pay monthly, on a rolling basis and are generally rather more flexible when it comes to things like data allowances. Of course, the basic version of the Apple iPad comes with Wi-Fi connectivity, but if you want to get the best from this great little gadget, it’s best to spend the extra money and plump for the 3G version.
By selecting this model you’ll be able to enjoy the benefit of the mobile broadband network. That means that you can still use Wi-Fi when you’re near an available hotspot, but being connected to the mobile network via 3G means that you can remain online pretty much wherever you go. Remember to check potential coverage with the provider of your choice though, which is another way to ensure that you get the best and most cost effective iPad SIM card to suit your needs.
