The iPad can't handle SMS by itself. You also need an iPhone.

Cannot send or receive SMS text messages on new ipad. Just purchased a new iPad. Cannot send or receive SMS/MMMS messages (androids)on it. The iPad 2 that I was using could go that. So I can on my old IPad, on my iPhone 13, but not on my new iPad. Frustrating.
