How do I register numbers on iMessage

I just uploaded the new software for my iPod touch.! iMessage won't let me send texts though. It says the numbers aren't registered/validated . Please help!!

iMessage only lets you send messages to other people using an iPhone, iPod Touch or the iPad. You cannot send texts to other makes of mobile phones. If they have one of the three iOS devices I mentioned above, they need to open the app and follow the on-screen instructions. If they have either an iPad or and iPod Touch, their iMessage address will be their email address and if they have an iPhone the iMessage address will be their phone number.


I hope this helps.
