iPod touch SMS for iPod Touch???

Trying to load TextFree w/Voice Won't go???

Tried to install this APP today on my wife's iPod Touch 8GB which supposedly has the "latest" software (v.2.2.1) and I get an error back saying it needs the latest software. Also, trying to install Apple updates and I get an error back on her WXP Pro HP saying the software has an invalid signature? What is that all about?

The Text Free app requires iOS 3.0 or higher.

I was thinking... Is it possible to get SMS on the iPod?

I know it won't work but there are multiple sites on the Internet that send free texts over the internet and you get the reply text over your e-mail.

Is it possible to use the iPhone SMS app and mod it to send free texts over Wifi through one of these websites???

I would murder to get this app!!!!

You could use the SMS app on an iPod touch.

You would have to get the app from a 4th gen iPod touch i believe, make a google voice account, link it up with the google voice SMS extension in cydia....and BOOM! SMS app on an iPod touch!

or you could just use textfree...

But some users continue to use SMS and MMS anyway, in large part to keep in touch with friends who aren’t using iPhones. Apple hasn’t added MMS support to the iPhone, but has modestly expanded the SMS application to let users send messages to multiple recipients at once, as shown in the screenshot above. Today, we look at seven different apps that are touted as offering “free” or lower-priced alternatives to paying for SMS and MMS messages, four handling SMS and three for MMS. While none of these apps is a truly complete substitute for the paid services, which work domestically and internationally—the latter generally at added expense—they come close enough under certain circumstances that many users, particularly ones in the U.S., may find them useful, anyway. Our top SMS pick is a $1 app called Infinite SMS from Inner Fence, with a highly qualified, merely limited recommendation going to the best of the MMS apps, Fetch My MMS. (MMS reviews for this roundup were written by Charles Starrett.)

Not only is this information incorrect but it doesn't make sense. Be gone bot/spammer.
