means their number. Ex: can I have your #?

It's the number sign. And it's not just used in texting...

If it's used before a word (ex: #YOLO), then it's a hashtag. Hashtags are minor memes from Twitter that were originally used as labels of sorts that could help you search for relevant tweets.

Of course, if it's used alone, then it is likely a shorthand way of writing "number".
