imessage on ios 6.1.6

I have an iPhone 3gs and it doesn't have a sim card. I tried to turn on imessage, but it automatically turns back off. How can I fix this?

I have an old iPod Touch with old software that can no longer be updated:

iOS version 6.1.6


I've been searching for a solution to my iMessage login problem for months and tried everything from those frustrating links and all the tips from other users.


Here is what finally worked:


1) Settings > Privacy > Location Services > On

2) Settings > General > Date & Time > Set Automatically > On

3) Reboot device until Apple logo appears

4) Settings > Messages > Sign In
