Tap the Messages app icon, which resembles a white speech bubble on a green background. It's in the top-right corner of the screen. A new screen will open. In the "To" text field near the top of the screen, type in the phone number of the person whom you want to text. If the person whom you want to text is saved as a contact on your iPod Touch, you can just type in their name instead. It's a text box near the bottom of the page, just above the on-screen keyboard.
