Messaging Apps for iPod Touch 2g?

I have an iPod Touch 2nd generation, 4.2.1. I'd like to message people, but all the apps I've tried either aren't compatible with iPod Touch or need a higher iOS update. I connected my device to iTunes and tried to update it, but it seems that I'm already on the latest update for 2nd generation. Any ideas?

To more easily find compatible apps:

iOSSearch - search the iTunes store for compatible apps.

Apple Club - filter apps by iOS version.

Starting when iOS 7 was released, Apple now allows downloading the last compatible version of some apps (iOS 4.2.1 and later only)

Install the latest compatible version of an app on an earlier version of iOS or OS X

App Store: Downloading Older Versions of Apps

You first have to download the non-compatible version on your computer. Then when you try to purchase the version on your iPod you will be offered a compatible version if one exists.
