No. You can only send/receive to/from Apple devices as they use iMessage and your connected email address(es) to accomplish this. The iPad mini does not know your cell phone's number- it just knows your Me/iCloud account. Also note that, physical limitations aside, even with a sim and a "phone number" for your iPad mini, you can not send/receive texts/calls because you would only have a data plan through your wireless carrier.

From apple community forums.

This thread may interest you. There are other apps available for texting....Viber is quite good but the recipient needs to have Viber also.

Go to App Store and download Textplus it's awesome you get a phone number and you could SMS
To any phone and receive SMS messages as well.

If you are a Verizon Wireless Cell user, they now have a Wireless Messaging Sync App. With this you can send/recve sms/mms on ur iPad using your VzW cell phone number.
