Iphone 5s imessage problem?

So i have an iphone 5s but i want to use it just as an ipod… How can i use the message app with my email like you do with a normal ipod…

In Settings -> Messages, uncheck "Send as SMS". Make sure that "iMessage" is checked. Under "Send & Receive", select to start new conversations as your email address. This will disable all carrier text messaging and use only iMessage.

  • Jailbroken iPhone 4 iMessage problem When I jailbroke my iphone (it was on 6.1.2 I'm pretty for sure) I could see imessage attachments just fine. Now I can see them just in the little box before you click to view but when I click to see it, it's just a white screen with the format. I really don't know how to fix it? Any help? Oh btw I don't have any jailbroken messaging apps.
