Watch WWE WrestleMania 29 PPV Live On iPhone, iPad, Android, Xbox And Windows 8

The biggest event in the World Wrestling Entertainment calendar is WrestleMania, and as fans of the WWE will be more than aware, WrestleMania 29 kicks off tomorrow in New York. With The Rock taking on John Cena for the WWE Championship, some 90,000 fans are expected to turn out to the MetLife Stadium in New Jersey to see it. If you’re not among the ticketholders, however, there’s always pay-per view, and with so many ways purchasing and watching what promises to be an enthralling event, here we’re going to look to how you can tune in if you don’t have cable.

For those on iOS and Android, the WWE app will allow you to watch the event in its entirety on your iPhone, iPad or Android smartphone, although the price may put some people off. In order to access the showing of WrestleMania 29, you will have to stump up an eye watering $59.99. On the plus side, your $59.99 will allow you to watch reruns for a few weeks following tomorrow’s event, but thereafter, you will have to stump up $20 to view it from the archives.

These kinds of events are always expensive, and if you’ve a bunch of friends that are also wrestling fans, your best bet is to congregate in one living room, split the PPV fee, and enjoy a much cheaper WrestleMania 29. Even if none of you have cable, the iPhone and iPad app supports AirPlay, so provided you have an Apple TV, you can readily stream it straight through to the little black box.

Those on Xbox LIVE can tune in by using the brand-new app released yesterday, and although the same price point applies, it’s another option to consider.

On Windows 8 and RT, the WWE app will also be streaming the event live, so whether you’re at the desktop or on your Windows 8 tablet, you won’t miss a second of the action.

The Rock and John Cena’s battle may be the one attracting the most attention, but there are plenty of very exciting matchups besides. The Undertaker will be taking on CM Punk while the veteran Triple H will be locking horns with Brock Lesnar, making WrestleMania 29 one of the most eagerly-anticipated in recent memory.

How To Check If An iPhone Or Android Device Is Factory Unlocked Or Not

One of the perceived downsides of the smartphone industry is the monopolization of devices through carrier locking. At point of sale and when you sign up to a contract with a carrier, it’s understandable, but thereafter, getting a handset unlocked can be a trying, if not impossible process. If you want to check whether your device is unlocked for use on any network, a nifty online service completely has your back, and not only is the website incredibly easy to use, but if you’re on Android, there’s also an app available to download over at the Google Play Store. More details after the break.

There are many reasons why you may want to check whether your device is unlocked. It might just be that you’re curious, and wish to know that if you wanted to switch over to a different carrier, you could do so with minimal fuss. Alternatively, you may be looking to stick your handset on eBay, in which case, you would want to know whether the device was tied down or unlocked so you could accurately notify the prospective buyer.

Step 3: Once the process is complete, you’ll get all info on which network the device belongs to and whether it’s SIM unlocked or not.
