Can I use my iPod touch as a phone using my home wifi?

I've got an iMac, a broadband connection, Wi-Fi and a fourth-gen iPod Touch.
Is it possible to take calls at home, using the wi-fi connection (or Bluetooth)?

Yeh, but I have to pay extra for that.
I've already paid for the call via my broadband connection. What I want to do is just make or take a call using my ipod rather than some other device (currently I have an old BT phone plugged into the wall).

  • Two of our ipod touches won't connect to the home wifi.  They have done before. All other apple devices connect fine.  They can see the wifi devices, appear to try to connect (the circle whirls around) but connection doesn't complete.  Ideas?

    I have 2 of them that only connected for a day and then reset network settings and they connected again for a day now resetting network settings does not fix it either. My iphone used to work with my home network but after upgrading to the latest OS which is the same versions as the ipods it no longer works either. Acts the same as the ipods. It would seem that the latest tweeks to the OS is the problem with wifi connectivity.

  • My Ipod touch won't connect to my home wifi.

    Its been a week since my ipod touch can't connect to my home wifi. When I open the wifi, it shows me other wifis around me but my own. I even try resetting network under the ipod setting. It connects to other wifi, such as my school's and starbucks. Once I go home it doesn't show or connect. My router is boardcasting the ssid. and its not blocking my ipod touch's mac address either. I tried everything! Resetting network and turning off my router and modem.

    - Try resetting the iPod. Nothing is lost.
    Reset iPod touch:  Hold down the On/Off button and the Home button at the same time for at
    least ten seconds, until the Apple logo appears.
    - Next try Settings>General>Reset>Reset all Settings.
    All your preferences and settings are reset. Information (such as contacts
    and calendars) and media (such as songs and videos) aren’t affected.
    - Restore from backup
    - Restore to factory defaults./new iPod

  • Ipod touch 5g will not connect to home wifi

    Hello there! I have this problem where my ipod touch wil not let me connect to my home wifi. When I try to join, a message will pop up saying "incorrect password". I know for sure that the password is 100% right. My ipod touch had no problems connecting to the internet a few months ago, but lately many of the apps that required internet would not load even with 3 bars of signal. Therefore, this is when I decided to rest the network settings. Biggest mistake. Now it won't even let me connect to the internet. I have tried everything. Holding the home button and power button together until apple logo pops up. Updating the software to ios 6.1.3, physically turning my ipod on and off, even the modem and reseting the network settings on ipod.
    Will restoring my ipod back to factory settings work?
    Thank you! It will be appreciated.

    Does the iPod connect to other networks?
    Does the iPod see the network?
    Any error messages?
    Do other devices now connect?
    Did the iPod connect before?

  • New ipod touch 4th gen wont connect to home wifi livebox?

    Hi I bought a new ipod touch yesterday 4th generation iOS5, I haven't been able to connect it to my home wifi at all. My brother's old Ipod touch connects perfectly fine, I know I'm not typing in an incorrect WEP key, but it just says "unable to join network" I have an orange (wanadoo) livebox. Any help would be much appreciated. I've tried resetting network settings/restarting it/restoring it etc etc but nothing works.

  • My iPod Touch is not connecting to my home WiFi

    It shows the connection bars and displays a tick next to the name, but it will not open WiFi apps or webpages. I have had 3 iPods, and they have never been able to connect to the home WiFi, but they have connected to other networks.
    Thanks in advance,

    I think that you should check your Internet router. Some router does not allow connection to mobile device. Hope this helps thank you

  • Can I use my home WiFi's data while using Personal Hotspot

    at the moment I'm using my personal hotspot at home, as I have no ethernet cord to run from my router to PC
    Is there someway that I can connect my phone to WiFi and then use that through my computer? or is the only way to use my own data that comes with my phone?
    This would be a great help.
    Thanks!

    It should be using your data. The hotspot connection is via 3G and is supported by your carrier. It can use wifi to connect to your computer, but it cannot use the wifi to provide the data.
    How can you connect your computer to wifi anyway. You talk about the inability to connect your computer to the router, but then you want to connect the comptuer to wifi from your router, but still want to use the Personal Hotspot. This does not make any sense. Does the router have the ability to do wifi? If so, you don't need the hotspot, just connect the PC to the router via wifi.

  • TS1398 My Ipod touch is not connecting to my home wifi which should automatically connect.

    My ipod isn't connecting. I've tried everything like typing in my whole network information but it says no network found. Also, all of my computers and phones are connected. I am literally sitting next to my router and NOTHING happens. Any reccomendations? Please help.

    If not this:
    iOS: Wi-Fi or Bluetooth settings grayed out or dim
    One user reported that placing the iPod in the freezer fixed the problem. A trick that works frequently with iPhones:
    Settings > AirPlane Mode ON, Do Not Disturb ON
    Power down and wait 5-10 minutes
    Power up
    Settings > AirPlane Mode OFF, Do Not Disturb OFF
    If not successful, an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store is usually in order.

    Your iPhone and iPod can share the same iTunes account.  Apps can be freely shared and used by one or both devices.  You can't use money in your iTunes account to pay for your phone, but purchased apps can be used by both the iPod and iPhone.

    Since the iPod touch doesn't have an LCDflash like the iPhone any app that would turn on the LCD flash on the iPhone into a "flashlight" wouldn't work with the iPod.

  • HT1386 i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    i tried to sync my ipad to my itunes using usb but it will say not charging,, i can sync with my ipod touch without any problem... please help..

    From http://support.apple.com/kb/HT4060 :
    The fastest way to charge your iPad is with the included 10W USB Power Adapter. iPad will also charge, although more slowly, when attached to a computer with a high-power USB port (many recent Mac computers) or with an iPhone Power Adapter. When attached to a computer via a standard USB port (most PCs or older Mac computers) iPad will charge, but only when it's in sleep mode.
    iPods need less power to charge them (their wall charger is half the power of the iPad's, 5W as opposed to 10W), so are more likely to charge via USB

    The following conditions ALL have to be met:
    1) You have the "Find My" activated BEFORE you lose the device.
    2) The device is turned on.
    3) The device is able to connect to a registered wifi connection (iPad, iPhone, iPod Touch) or data network (iPhone, iPad).
    4) The device was not restored by a finder of the device (if it was really stolen then the thief has probably restored it).
    If you have activated the "Find My" feature, go to https://www.icloud.com or use the Find My iPhone app - http://itunes.apple.com/us/app/find-my-iphone/id376101648?mt=8
    Setting up iCloud (requires iOS5) - http://www.apple.com/icloud/setup/ios.html - includes activating the 'Find My' feature.
    Frankly in the case of a stolen iPod this almost never works. Report it to the police.  Change passwords on accounts.

  • Can I sync an iPod Touch that is using a different MobileMe email?

    Howdy! I have a MacBook Laptop, with separate user accounts for each family member (ie, the list on the Login Window). We also have a family pack for MobileMe, with separate emails.
    I'm getting an iPod touch, and want to set it up with my husband's MobileMe account.
    Can I sync the iPod touch to the MacBook while I am logged on to my user account and iTunes? Or does he have to sync under his own log-in account?
    I'd like to be able to share the apps that I have already purchased... I know they go to my iPhone and iPad within my MobileMe account just fine, but I wasn't sure if getting another iPod touch with a different email within our Family Pack would be allowed to share the apps.
    Thanks for your help!

    That should work, just don't synch the email account with your account, set it up manually on the iPod Touch.
