Friends Kingdom: Re: [iPad] Texting from an iPad to an Android

You can have any iOS device answer any text or phone call if it's on the same wifi network.

I'm signed in as me to my iPad and iPhone and Mac. With the aforementioned option all my texts goto all my devices regardless of carrier or mobile os

As far as I know, iMessage works only on Apple devices, *IF* they are set up for it, and uses any data connection, Wifi or cellular.

So Android devices will NOT see material sent as iMessage.

*IF* your device has a cellular contract that includes standard SMS text messaging, THEN Settings — Messages should include the option to "Send as SMS".

My iPhone has such a capability in my AT&T contract, and includes that option.
My iPad, running the same version of iOS, has no SMS capability in its Verizon contract, and does NOT include that option in Settings.
