Can ipod touch 4th generation send and receive messages from a phone number?

I have an iphone number connected to imessage but my iphone broke.  On my mac messages app it allows me to be reached at (my phone number).  Is it possible on the ipod touch 4th generation to send and receive messages from my phone number as opposed to an email address?

Only if you have an iPhone using with iOS 6 or greater using the same APple ID for Settings>Messages>Send and Recevice.
iOS and OS X: Link your phone number and Apple ID for use with FaceTime and iMessage

  • I have an Ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo

    I have an ipod touch 4th generation 8gb and it comes on but does not go past the apple logo.  What do I need to do?

    This problem happened to me a month ago. The way I used to fix it:
    1. Go it DFU Mode. For going into that, check this page.
    2. Connect your iPod to your PC which has iTunes and iTunes will detect your iPod in recovery mode.
    3. Press Shift + Restore if you have the .ipsw firmware file downloaded on your windows PC or just click Restore and follow the instructions to download the firmware file.
    4. Wait and finally you're done!

  • My iPhone only sends and receives messages from email

    I am switching my iPhone 3GS formerly on AT&T to Straight Talk. I set up my phone, but the iMessage is acting up. I sign in to my Apple ID, and it has my number (grayed out) and my email as options to send and receive messages. When I go into settings > messages > send and receive, it only shows the email. This is very frustrating and I just want to figure it out. Any ideas?

    It's because the phone number hasn't activated yet. This could be because the APN settings for Straight talk are not correct. It also can take up to 24 hours for the number to activate through the iMessage servers.

  • My iPod Touch 4th Gen isn't receiving messages,

    but only from certain people. And it is sending them fine. My friend is responding on a texting app I have, because iMessage is being so weird. Anyone else have this problem? Know how to fix it? I tried logging out and then back on to my iMessage, that just succeeded in clearing all my messages.

    You said " My friend is responding on a texting app ".
    You can only receive in the Messages app, Messages from other iOS devices (iPod touch iPhone or iPad) who sent it via the Messages app on their device.
    There are third-party apps like Text + thast work with other devices.

  • My iPhone both sends and receives messages from 2 different phones. They are registered with the same iTunes account. What can I do to stop this?

    My partner and I both have iPhone 5s and an iPad. We registered all three products with the same iTunes account as we download music and movies together. I have noticed when my partner sends me a message it also appears on my phone that I have sent it AND recieved it. The same goes for when I text him. I send the message to his phone and my phone also recieves it. Facetime does the same thing. Its very strange. Does any one know what I can do to stop this from happening?

    To stop this, don't use the same Apple ID on both phones for iMessage and FaceTime.  (You can continue to use the same ID for iTunes; it doesn't need to be the same as the ID used for iMessage or FaceTime.)
    On one of the phones, go to Settings>Messages>Send & Receive, tap the ID, sign out, then sign back in with a different ID.  Then do the same thing in Settings>FaceTime.

  • Can I use iCloud for sending and receiving emails from my own domain name?

    Hello,
    Hope that someone can help me please.
    I have my own unique registered domain name. 
    Currently I am using the gmail server to transmit and receive email - I am using Mail on a MacBook, and an iPhone.  Works just fine.
    However, I was wondering if the iCloud can be set up to also provide this same function?
    If so how do we achieve this?
    Appreciate your comments and advice.

    Please ignore this question. Or tell me how to delete it.

  • I bought my Ipod touch 4th generation recently and everything was working well. However, it has been 2 weeks since my FaceTime and Imessage aren't working anymore.

    Right after I put on my username and password, it says "veryfing" and then it goes back to the log in page. I don't know what's going on at all. My apple ID is ok, since I can purchase apps and other stuff on Itunes. I've used Imessage and FaceTime before, it happened suddenly. Does anyone ever had this problem? Than you.

    You contacted your carrier, what did they say. There is no special setting on the iPhone for SMS, only MMS. You can go into Settings>Messages, make sure that MMS is turned on for media messages, but SMS has to be activated at the carrier end.,

    - Try another cable. Some 5G iPods were shipped with Lightning cable that were either initially defective or failed after short use.
    - Try another charging source
    - Inspect the dock connector on the iPod for bent or missing contacts, foreign material, corroded contacts, broken, missing or cracked plastic.
    - Make an appointment at the Genius Bar of an Apple store.
