Do I get a number

Huh?

If you mean like an iphone, no. But in imessage on ipod you use your email (: You can also download different texting apps i recomend (spell) Pinger EX Free Version or Pinger. Wonderful apps and you do get your own number and you can call any one else who has the app for free but if its a real phone you do have to purchase minues. must be connected to wifi
