You 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-cellular

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.
