Hi,
You can send iMessages to an iPod. And you can either use your
apple ID, or add an email address, to be used as the messaging
ID.

Subject: Re: the difference between text messages and iMessages
Can you send an iMessage to an iPod? I'm asking because you said
we don't need a phone number to send iMessages. Also, what do
you use instead of a phone number?
Thank you so much. I have been trying to figure out the
difference between these two kinds of messages for several years.
Best,
Terrie Terlau

iMessages use Apple servers, so you can use them between two
Apple devices. They will use your data and not your text
messaging plan. You can use your Apple ID, and you don't need a
cellular number.
Text messages are SMS messages that use your cellular provider's
services.. You'll need a cellular number to send a text message.
You can send text messages to any other device with a phone
number that supports SMS.

What's The Difference Between iMessages and Text Messages on
iPhone?
Underneath the surface, iMessages and text messages are
fundamentally
different technologies, even though they both live in the
Messages app
on your iPhone.
I think it's important for every iPhone owner to know the
difference
between text messages and iMessages, because that knowledge can
have a
significant
impact on your phone bill.
Text Messages

Regular text messages use the text messaging plan that you
purchase
through your carrier. There are two kinds of text messages:
list of 2 items
? SMS (Short Message Service): The original text messages that
we've
been using for years. SMS messages are limited to 160
characters and can
only contain
text.
? MMS (Multimedia Messaging Service): MMS messages extend the
capability
of original text messages, and support sending photos, longer
text
messages, and
other content.

Carriers used to charge more to send MMS messages than SMS
messages, and
some still do. Nowadays, most carriers most charge the same
amount for
SMS and
MMS messages and count them as part of a single text messaging
plan.
iMessages
iMessages are fundamentally different than text messages because
they
use data to send messages, not the text messaging plan you
purchase
through your
wireless carrier.
Benefits Of Using iMessage
list of 3 items
? iMessage does a whole lot more than SMS or MMS: iMessage
supports
sending photos, videos, files, locations, and a slew of other
data types
using the
Messages app.
? iMessage works over Wi-Fi: As you can imagine, sending and
receiving photos or videos can use a lot of data, and you pay
for that
data using with your
cellular data plan. If you're connected to Wi-Fi, you can send
iMessages
without using your cellular data or text messaging plan.
? iMessage is faster than SMS or MMS: SMS and MMS messages are
sent
using different technology than your iPhone uses to connect to
the
internet. You can
send photos and other large files a lot faster using iMessage
than you
can using MMS messages.
list end
The One Drawback
list of 1 items
? iMessage only works between Apple devices. You can send and
receive
iMessages from iPhones, iPads, iPods, and Macs, but not from
Android
phones, PCs,
or other devices. If you're in a group text with 8 people and
1 person
has an Android phone, the entire conversation will use SMS or
MMS
messages - the
type of message that everyone's phone is capable of having.
list end
How To Avoid A Large Phone Bill Because Of iMessage
Cellular data is expensive, and people ask me about it all the
time.
I've written an article about
how to find out what's using data on your iPhone,
and iMessage can be a major culprit. Since iMessage can send
photos,
videos, and other large files, iMessages can eat through your
cellular
data plan very
quickly.
Remember this: The iMessages you receive use your data plan too.
Try to
use Wi-Fi as much as possible when you're sending or receiving
lots of
photos or
videos using the Messages app.
I hope this article has helped you understand the differences
between
iMessages and text messages. Thanks for reading, and if you
have any
other questions
about your iPhone, the
Payette Forward Community
is a great place to get help.
