Mountain Lion messaging app?

I bought the OS X Mountain Lion software for my Macbook today and I was wondering if you could even use your own Iphone number to replace your e-mail to send messages to other Apple devices because I prefer using my Iphone number to text my friends on the messaging app on Mountain Lion.

I don't think you can connect a phone number.

  • Update to OSX Mountain Lion? Hi! So I got my hands on an iPhone 5 recently and I wanted to back it up and add songs so I plugged it into my Mac. Then it said that my iTunes version was too old and to update, i need to update the OSX since I'm currently running on 10.5.8. I'm considering buying Mountain Lion but will it DELETE MY FILES? Read some stuff online about "backing it up"? How do you do that exactly, without iCloud?
