Apple’s Worldwide Developers Conference to kick off June 10 at 10 a.m. PDT with Keynote address

The Keynote will be available to stream on apple.com, the Apple Developer app, the Apple TV app, and the Apple YouTube channel. On-demand playback will be available after the conclusion of the stream.

Can't Send Text Messages On My IPad

This is my first text message. I am trying to send one, but the phone number is in red. I even tried to send one to me, but my number is still in red. I can't find where the address book is on my device to add numbers, though my name is in my address book. Can anyone tell me how to set this thing up? I tried all support directions, but no go. Thanks for your help! Gregg
