I lost my phone on Tuesday... I have hope that I'm going to get it back. I had an ID card in the pocket of the case, and I saw someone post on facebook that an old woman had shown him my ID card and told him she was going to the police (of course, that was 3 days ago and nothing...but I'm still hoping. I doubt an ajuma would steal a phone...)

But life without the phone sucks... I remembered I had an ipod touch lying around and so I powered it up and tried to install kakao on it so I could communicate with people but it needs my phone number... is there no way to set it up without a phone number? I have kakao on my computer, that just needed my email address and password to set up. There's got to be a way. Anyone? Please? TIA

It needs an SMS confirmation. So, SOL.

Download the Text Free app from Pinger. It will give you a US number that can receive texts within the app. Sign up for Kakao on iPod touch with this number, get the activation code via SMS in the Text Free App. Might require a new Kakao account, but it totally works.
