Impress your friends by texting their cell phones with an iPod, and start bragging to them! Or save a ton of money on your texting bill by doing this!
Please subscribe if this video helped you! Just click on the yellow button above. Please rate only if you tried this out after you watched this. You must have WiFi in order for this to work.

Steps:

1. Get an iPod Touch or an iPhone (If you use iPhone, then you will be able to text for free in a WiFi Area.)
2. Get a cell phone (If you have an iPhone, this probably won't be a problem. You might be able to text your own phone.)
3. Create an AIM account here: http://www.aim.com
4: Download the AIM app from the app store on your iPod Touch or iPhone.
5: Type in your account info, and go to "Contacts."
6a: Go to "edit" on the top somewhere, and press the "+" where the edit was.
6b: Type in your cell phone number where it says contact info. Note:
You must type in a "+" or a plus sign in front of your number. Then, type in your country code(In the United States it is "1"), and then your area code, and then your number. Example: +13811033849
7: Then say that it is a buddy, and just type that person's name.
8: Click on their name, and then type the message that you want to the cell phone.
9: You will receive the message on your cell phone!

If this didn't work for you, please send me a message or comment, and I'll see what I can do.

  • does it cost the person you send it too money cause i dont want to owe anybody money

  • Yes i think it does cost them money.

    If you send any text messages to anybody, I think it would charge them.

    If they text message a lot, it probably wouldn't be a huge problem, because a couple of cents wouldn't amount too much. Ask them if you can send them texts first.

  • Eyyy!!! I was wondering if this work in Colombia??? i'm from colombia i need to know!! please!!

    Thanks if you can answer to me, this is the vid i was looking for!! thank you for do it

  • Hmm... I'm not sure if this works in Colombia, since I live in the USA. Colombia Country Code: +57

    For the other guy for Norway

    Norway Country Code: +47

    I hope this helps. Again, I live in the USA, so I'm not sure if it works in other countries.
