How to Buy an iPhone 5s to Activate on Ting

Do you want to activate an iPhone 5s or 5c on Ting? Do you know where and how to buy one? Here is everything you need to know.

It is now possible to activate the iPhone 5s and iPhone 5c on Ting. Although the major carriers are currently launching the iPhone 6, because Ting is a Sprint MVNO, Sprint does not allow them to activate the latest generation of Apple iPhones. Only until one year after the initial release does Sprint allow iPhones to be brought to Ting.

Another issue to contend with is the fact that you cannot buy an iPhone 5s or 5c directly from Ting at this time. Ting does offer refurbished iPhones for sale in their online store, but only the iPhone 5 and older. To get an iPhone 5s or 5c now, you will have to buy your phone through a third party seller.

Since the iPhone 6 has just been released, prices for last generation 5s and 5c will likely come down significantly in the next month as a large number of devices flood the market.

If you are a new customer or will be adding a new line to your account, you should definitely take advantage of the device swap program:

Sell any AT&T, Verizon or T-Mobile device and we will credit you an extra 30% of your proceeds to cover the cost of a comparable Ting-compatible device.

Where Do I buy a Ting iPhone 5s or 5c?

To buy an iPhone 5s for Ting you can get one from eBay, Amazon, Craigslist, Glyde, Swappa, or anyone who is selling a Sprint iPhone 5s or 5c that meets the below requirements. Shop around to try to find what you are looking for at the best price. Below are links to iPhones that filter out everything but the required Sprint versions:

Amazon - check out the "other sellers" section to see more selection and prices.
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c

eBay - make sure you buy one that has a "clean/good ESN" and is not "iCloud locked."
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c

Glyde
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c

Swappa
iPhone 5s
iPhone 5c

You can buy one from almost anywhere, but to bring an iPhone 5s or 5c to Ting it must meet all the following requirements:

• Originally sold by Sprint. In other words, it must be a Sprint branded device - iPhones from other carriers will not work.
• One aspect of being a Sprint model is that they are CDMA variants. "Unlocked" or "SIM unlocked" iPhones are GSM versions that do not use the same frequencies and will not work on Ting.
• It cannot be reported lost, stolen, or currently active on someone else's account. Being eligible for activation and not reported lost or stolen is often expressed by sellers as a phone with a "clean ESN or IMEI" and "not iCloud locked." If you are buying from eBay, Craigslist, and even 3rd party sellers on Amazon you need to make sure of this. 
• You must have a UICC SIM card installed for activation (this enables LTE data), model #SIMGLW416C, that you can buy directly from Ting here. 

Now that you have your iPhone, the next step is to activate it on Ting. If you are a new customer you can get a $25 credit on your account by using this link immediately prior to activating your first Ting device.

How Do I Activate the iPhone 5s and 5c on Ting?

1. Insert the Ting SIM card and then turn on the device.
2. Go to https://ting.com/go on a computer to begin the activation process.
3. On your iPhone find the MEID and ICCID by going to Settings → General → About and scroll down until you see the MEID and ICCID numbers.
4. Enter the MEID and ICCID when prompted and then follow the instructions to port in your existing number, create a new number, or swap out an existing device on your account.

Will iTunes be available on Android ? Android App News

Android App News - Will iTunes be available on Android ?

 

Persistent rumors are circulating about Apple making its iTunes music and media streaming services available to Android users. Till now, these services were only available for iPhone, iPad and Mac users but the current rumors suggest Apple is considering making these services available through apps for Android users.

Of course this makes sense since Apple will be able to bill Android users who will consume media through these media streaming services. There are other media and music streaming services already available for Android, from Spotify to Pandora (radio streaming) and Google's own Google Play Music.

However, one of Apple's strong suits is it's being a closed farm, with media, devices, apps and contents all being compatible only with Apple's products. This is one of the things which Apple uses in order to try to preserve its market share of devices such as tablets and iPhones.

No doubt we the users will benefit from iTunes availability on Android but it remains to be seen what Apple will decide. On a side note, we would also benefit from Apple remaining a strong company which keeps making Google and Samsung and all other Android manufacturers strive to provide us with the best apps, operating system updates and devices they are able to produce.

The iPhone 5 is Now Available on Ting

I have been a Ting customer for a while now and have been very happy with their service. I have written a critical assessment and overview  of Ting's mobile service and told all my friends and family about them. Many people I told about Ting have switched to Ting's no-contract, pay for what you use service, but one of the main reasons I have been given for not switching has been the simple fact that Ting did not support the latest iPhones. The iPhone 4 and 4s have been supported by Ting since last fall, but those phones are not LTE compatible and operate on Sprint's much slower 3G network. It is understandable that iPhone users don't want to be stuck with a device that is over 2 years old.

Now you can activate the Sprint iPhone 5 in addition to the older 4 and 4s models. At this time Ting is only able to allow "bring your own" iPhones as they apparently have not yet finalized a purchasing agreement with Apple and/or Sprint directly.  Honestly, iPhones are so expensive new (without a contract) that this is not all bad.

How to Find and Buy an iPhone for Ting

The Apple iPhone 5 can be found consistently on eBay, Glyde, Swappa, etc. for around $250-350 in excellent used condition. Just ensure, if buying used, that the phone is a "Sprint iPhone" has a "clean ESN" and is not "iCloud activation locked" (in other words, it is not lost or stolen). If you are not comfortable trying to find a used iPhone online or just do not have the time, Ting staff can find a device for you through their personal shopper program. If the person you are buying the Sprint iPhone does not include a LTE SIM (ICC) card, you will need one for activation. You can order it directly from Ting or stop by your local Apple store and ask them to give you a "Sprint nano-SIM" specifically part number SIMGLW406R.

Ting is unable to offer the latest generation of iPhones - the iPhone 5s and 5c - but plans to support them beginning in September of 2014. That means that Ting will likely be able to offer iPhones that are one generation behind the latest for the remainder of this year.

Since I primarily write about Android devices, I suspect most of my readers are more interested in phones like the Nexus 5 or other Android phones. But, many of us have family members who prefer the iPhone and other Apple products, so now may be a good time to get them off that expensive plan with AT&T or Verizon and on to your Ting account.

How to Activate an iPhone 5 on Ting

1. Buy a Sprint iPhone 5 that has a clean ESN. Check the ESN to make sure.
2. Make sure you have the appropriate Sprint LTE SIM card installed.
3. Find the device's MEID by going to Settings → General → About → MEID.
4. Go to https://ting.com/go to begin the activation process.
5. Enter the MEID and then follow the instructions to port in your existing number, create a new number, or swap out an existing device on your account.
6. Restart the iPhone. Within a minute or two it should automatically begin the activation process. If you are having trouble you can try the additional troubleshooting options found on Ting's help site/forum.

Android App Review - Jotre Calendar by Jotre Inc.

Android App - Jotre Calendar by Jotre Inc.

Jotre Calendar by Jotre Inc. A simple yet feature rich calendar and task manager. With colorful graphics and icons, great widgets to show you upcoming events in the near future and synchronization with Google Calendar, Jotre Calendar app has almost everything a calendar should have. An instant favorite among our testers, the great majority have kept it even after the testing period was over.

The testers have generally loved this app. It's simple and effective and its widgets allow every user to select the area they want on their home screen Jotre is to occupy, thus one look at the home screen provides the user with instant information about upcoming events.

You can configure almost everything on Jotre Calendar. The color of the cells, the text, the icons, whether the language and the time changes when you go abroad, literarly hundreds of different options. 

Some of our testers have actually turned Jotre into their main event and task manager app, using it to synchronize everything in their lives. The sync option with Google Calendar insures that all your events will be saved on a major company's hard drives and you can access them easily from you PC, or sync it with Microsoft Outlook, if your tastes take you there.

The only things our testers found difficult was setting up the app, since the bewildering amount of options confused some of our users, as some of them even had trouble understanding the different widgets and how to place them on the home screen. We understand these are less tech savvy people, but still ...
Yet, this is a great app and rightfully deserves our max score.

• Score:5 out of 5. Even though some small problems exists, this is one of the best apps that we reviewed here on Android App Review Center.
• Description: This is a calendar app that allows you  to place, see and manage your calendar, including tasks and appointments in a visual way. One of the things which makes this app special is its widgets which allows the user to see a week, or two weeks or almost any time frame ahead right on your home screen and see what appointments are due and when. Another great thing is the ability to sync with Google Calendar, which brings the old dream a step closer to reality - the ability to sync your appointments and tasks from your desktop Outlook to Google Calendar to your smartphone. In addition, the usual Google Calendar notification pops up whenever an appointment is over due.
• Good Points: The ability to sync tasks and appointments with Google Calendar, The widgets you can place on your home screen to see right away what appointments lurk in the near future, Almost fully customizable look, You can set a default for the appointment reminder that will be used for all the reminders of the appointments you set.
• Bad Points: There is no way to customize the size of the text fonts on the widget which sometimes makes reading and finding out what appointments you have today a bit tough, From experience, some people find it difficult the understand how to install the widgets on the home screen, the Google Calendar notification is a little ugly - we would have preferred a Jotre specific notification instead.
• Experience: We've been working with this app for almost a month now and have no intention of uninstalling it. It really is a very good interface for Google Calendar and it makes managing appointments and tasks easy and simple. We're certainly going to stay with this app for the foreseeable future.
• Longevity: Excellent. This is one to keep and even convince the odd friend here and there to install it.
• Google Play Link - Jotre Calendar by Jotre Inc.
• Google Play Score: 4.4

Android App Review - My Piano by Borce Trajkovski

Android App Review - My Piano by Borce Trajkovski

 

My Piano by Borce Trajkovski. This is a simple yet feature rich piano app for the serious player who must have a piano app handy (musicians and such) but the main use our testers have found for it is as a past time from the kids - kids love it, the various sound effects and can spend a lot of time exploring the different sounds and effects.

My Piano app can show up to two octaves at the same time, can play as several instruments and load up new sound effects. It has volume controls, recording features, very nice animations for pressed keys and various quality controls - in total, producing a very life like piano simulation, with excellent sound quality. And for the more serious minded users, this app can also serve as a MIDI controller over WiFi.

A few of our testers commented that they would have liked more than the two octaves available and one complained that she was afraid to give it to her kids because you cannot control what adds appear during play. 

• Score: A very strong 4.5 out of 5 stars. Would have been perfect if there was an option for more than two octaves and a paid version of the app that would have made the ads go away.
• Description: A fairly sophisticated piano app that lets the user play using several instrument sounds, record new samples, record pieces played on the app itself and has extensive MIDI features.
• Good Points: Simple and easy to use. Has MIDI features and several playable instrument samples. Can record pieces played on the app.
• Bad Points: Some testers wanted more than two octaves while others disliked the ads, preferring a paid version (that still doesn't exist) which would make the ads go away.
• Experience:Most of the testers reported that almost as soon as they installed the app, their small kids (if the testers had any ...) took to it almost immediately. There were very few problems and almost no crashes or freezes of any kind.
• Longevity: Almost all the testers with little kids kept the app installed. The testers with some musical inclination also kept the app, as it allows them to whip out the smartphone and play a tune any time they want.

• Google Play Score: 4.4

Android App Review - Battery by MacroPinch

Android App Review - Battery by MacroPinch

 

Battery by MacroPinch app. A simple but very useful app that works on a very large variety of Android devices - from smartphones to tablets. The battery app monitors the battery, displays in the notification bar and a widget the current power percent and the smartphone's or tablets working time left before the battery is drained.

We liked this app a lot. Simple yet effective, it only has one problem which is probably unavoidable.
  

The battery app also has advanced battery monitoring features which allow you to monitor to battery's health. If a smartphone develops a tendency to drain its battery quickly, you can use the app's advanced features to see if its healthy and use to app the open Android's power monitoring app which shows you which app is using how much power, in case something in the smartphone is draining the power too quickly. 

Some of our testers were confused by Battery app's feature which shows how much time there is before the battery is drained. What confused these testers is the fact that the app shows time remaining according to current power consumption. So, if you have a heavy game running over WiFi, the battery app will indicate the battery will drain quickly. If you turn off the game and then check the battery app again, it will show a much longer battery draining time. 

Aside from that time indication which may be confusing, the app was very much liked by our testers. Useful and simple, it became indispensable in an instant.

• Score: A 5 out of 5, because it does exactly what it says it does, simply and easily.
• Description: A battery monitoring app that displays the battery's remaining power by percentage and also shows how much time there is before the batter runs out of power. Has notification bar and widgets display.
• Good Points: Very simple to understand and use. Has widgets and notification bar displays. Has time remaining display in addition to percentage of power used.
• Bad Points: The time displayed till the battery runs out depends on current power usage, i.e. which apps are running, whether WiFi and GPS are turned on, etc. So, checking on different times may show wildly different results, which confused some of our testers.
• Experience: All our testers found the app very useful, whichever Android version they had. All turned the notification bar display on (which makes you ask, why was it turned off as default after installing) and went right on using it.
• Longevity: Almost all kept the battery app installed on their smartphone or tablet for good.

• Google Play Score: 4.7

Android App Review - Candy Crush Saga

Android App - Candy Crush Saga

Candy Crush Sage is one of the most popular games on Android right now, and Facebook is filled with cries of "How do I get past level 99?" or "Awesome! I finished level 199!". A candy crushing puzzle, you go through a world where the puzzles are made off candy, just waiting there to be crushed.

 
A very addictive game, Candy Crush Sage promises hours of fun but also some frustrating levels if the necessary upgrades and power ups are not bought with real money. Changing levels with tons of colorful, sweet candy to crush, the Candy Crush addiction is here.

• Score: 4.5 For an enjoyable and addictive if a little repetitive game.
• Description: This is a puzzle solving game with fun and cheery graphics, if a little over too 'fruity', tons of levels and special items that can help solve the more difficult levels and generally make the game a little more interesting. The feature of buying stuff in mid game can be turned off, which may be a good feature for some who find it irritating. In general, Candy Crush Saga is a fairly addictive game for those who have kids, some spare time in boring meetings or on public transportation and are not afraid of cheerful music and bright colors. Of course, this is a must for all lovers of candy!
• Good Points: Very addictive and fun, lots of levels, probably one of the best puzzle games out there - quite challenging on the higher levels.
• Bad Points: Sometimes it's difficult getting past some levels (upwards of level 180) without paying for power ups, there are rare instance of the game not loading and spending lives, the update policy seems a bit strange and there are rare instances of freezing up - especially when trying to get things sent by friends.
• Experience: Installed it about two weeks ago and played it extensively. The game does seem to have some problem receiving tickets from friends and it did freeze once and did a forced closure two or three times. Our testers were fairly addicted and one even paid to have higher levels open up. They all think this is a great free game, just needs to have the several kinks and bugs fixed.
• Longevity: Fair - Been playing it for two weeks now but will probably uninstall it in another two weeks or so.
• Google Play Link - Candy Crush Saga
• Google Play Score: 4.4

Android App Review - Tiny Flashlight + LED

Android App Review - Tiny Flashlight + LED

Tiny Flashlight + LED. A small but very useful app that does exactly what its name suggests - turns your smartphone into a flashlight, and a fairly powerful one at that. When activated, the app appears in one of several possible skins but the one we found most useful was the one where a large light button appears, along with a live counter showing battery strength, which the powerful LED flashlight consumers rather fast.

The app has some very useful features, such as the power indicator and the large operating button when you run it. In addition, to conserve battery it will exit by itself unless you tell it not to. In addition, there is another interesting and useful feature to turn the light on by just shaking the smartphone without unlocking it.

However, it does have some problems. Sometimes, it does turn the power on by itself. An irritating feature is the way it appears in the notification bar and begs you to close it. A rare occurrence is that the flashlight refuses to turn the light on.

Other than those small problems, this is a must for those who need to turn their smartphone into a flashlight, which actually all of us need one time or another. 

• Score: 4.5 Out of 5. An almost perfect app.
• Description: A flash light app that turns the smartphone's into a fairly powerful flash light. 
• Good Points: The app can be activated by shaking the app without unlocking the smartphone, there are various skins for the app which make activation easier, The app reports current battery status which gives an indication how much longer the flashlight can still operate.
• Bad Points: Shaking the smartphone to activate the flashlight doesn't always work - you sometimes have to shake it repeatedly in various ways till the app activates, It would have been great to have a time indicator when the flashlight works in addition to the battery status indicator - to know how much more time the flash light can still work. 
• Experience: All of our testers reported that having the smartphone turn into a flashlight helped them immensely on at least one occasion. None of the testers reported being put off by the several small problems in the app.
• Longevity: Excellent. The app has been installed for more than a year and none of our testers have uninstalled it, nor have an intention to uninstall. This app stays on the smartphone - at least till Google put out an Android version that have some of these capabilities built-in.
