Q: I'm unable to send messages from my iPad to other non Apple devices. How can I fix that?

Hi rubenfromtarzana,

I understand you'd like to know how you can send messages from your iPad to recipients that don't have an Apple device. When you're using iMessage on iPad, you can only send text messages to other iPhones, iPads, and iPods. However, if you have an iPhone with a text-messaging plan you can set it up so you can send, and receive text messages across both devices. For more information on doing that, you can read it all about it here at this Apple support article: Add or remove your phone number to iMessage or FaceTime on your Mac, iPad, and iPod touch - Apple Support.

I hope this helps,

John
