Doesn't your contract with your cell carrier have to include that.
Sorry, it seems I must be wrong about what a cellular iPad will do.PatSent from my iPad ProThank you Pat. My iPads (3 of them over the years) have all been cellular models, yet that hasn't seem to make a difference for me. I must be missing a correct setting somewhere. When I attempt to sent a text to a non-Apple device, the phone number I have typed in turns red, and when I type my sessage, the send button does not respond (as if it was grayed out).LindaYou can also opt for an iPad with cellular connectivity and you would then be able to message everyone just as you can do with a cellular phone. Each model of iPad offers that feature. Here's an example: https://www.apple.com/shop/buy-ipad/ipad-9-7/128gb-space-gray-wifi-cellularPatOn Oct 22, 2017, at 8:02 AM, 'Mary Leek' mleek@comcast.net [iPad] <iPad@yahoogroups.com> wrote:Thank you for your helpful comment. Yes, this apparently seems to be the case here with me, too. What a bummer. I'd no idea I could not message everyone using the iPad. Not everyone in my family is strictly Apple. Have to give this some thought and do a bit of research. I may have to return the iPad and go with another brand.

Subject: Re: [iPad] How to set up and use SMS/MMS relay to send and receive texts on your iPad | iMoreIt appears that this method works only if you have both an iPhone and an iPad, because you need the iPhone to relay the non-Apple messages to the iPad. I only have an iPad, and have never found a way to send messages from my iPad to non-Apple users.
