You can get texting or calling on an iPod touch to make or receive phone calls, and send or receive text messages when the device is connected to the Internet. Although the iPod touch doesn't have the option of accommodation a SIM card like an iPhone, it's possible to use calling and texting applications on the device when you're near a wireless network.
Instructions
1. Tap the iPod touch's "Settings" icon, then choose "Wi-Fi." Select the name of a nearby wireless network, one without a lock next to it -- this indicates it doesn't require a password -- or one whose password you know. Input the password and tap "Join."
2. Choose the "AppStore" icon. Type the name of a calling or texting app into the "Search" field. Examples of iPod Touch apps that enable texting and/or calling include "Skype," "Google Voice" and "What'sApp?"
3. Tap the "Install" button next to the app you wish to install. Agree to charges if there are any -- "What'sApp?," for example costs $1.99 as of September 2011 -- then wait for the icon to appear on the iPod touch's "Home" screen.
4. Select the app's icon to launch and open it on the iPod touch. Make sure you're still connected to the Internet, then begin calling or texting on the app.
