Texting from iPad

[MoneyGuy]

How can I text from my iPad2? I believe I can text to another Apple device only.

Correct in regards to iMessage. Open the Message app to use.

There are other apps that send "chat" messages, user to user. In many cases, the other party needs to same and/or compatible app to communicate.

You cannot send standard "text"/SMS/cellular message with an iPad.
