Sep 13, 2014 11:50 PM in response to secret1104by gail from maine,You can only get Wifi if there is a free Wifi link in the area you are in. Go to Settings>Wifi, and see if there are any unlocked Wifi signals you can use.
An iPod Touch is not going to provide you with the ability to send messages without Wifi since it has no way to use a cellular connection.

Sep 14, 2014 12:34 AM in response to secret1104by Keith Doherty3,You will need to have access to a Wifi router to connect remotely, either find free and open or freely available (Subscription service and password protected) en-route , or get your parents to get you a mobile phone with bluetooth or Wifi tethering functionality.
Or consider a portable WiFi modem such as a MiFi , Huawei or similar device - basically these are a headless mobile device with a phone sim card and connect to the cell network then convert that signal into a WiFi frequency that your iPod and typically up to 5 other Wifi enabled devices nearby can connect to (provided you give them passed access)
These work just about anywhere a mobile signal can be found , however can be slow and you also still have a phone bill to pay !
Search for Novotel Mifi or Huawei E series for details and suppliers in your location - They cost about £40/$75/€75 plus

You don't text her if you do not have wi-fi access.
