These are the requirements to make phone calls with iPod Touch

If you want to use your iPod Touch not only to listen to music but also to make phone calls, it is possible thanks to the iPhone mobile calls feature.

1. To set it up, please navigate to "Settings" > "Phone" > "Calls on other devices" on iPhone and enable the "Allow calls on other devices" option.
2. After that, open the "Settings" on your iPod Touch as well and tap "Calls from iPhone" under "FaceTime" to turn on the phone function.

How to make calls with your iPod Touch

Alternatively, starting a phone call is also possible via the FaceTime app by tapping the "plus icon" in it, entering a number and confirming with the "handset icon". Incoming calls can in turn be accepted on the iPod Touch simply by swiping to the side on the device's display.
