Text messaging from iPad to android phones

I just received a replacement iPad Pro. On my previous iPad, I was able to send text messages to everyone and now I can only text to other apple users. I no longer have the option of message forwarding shown in my settings. Is there another way to be able to text from my iPad to android phones? Thanks!

iPad Pro 12.9-inch, 2nd Gen, Wi-Fi, Cell

To text Android user, you must have an iPhone.

Check your iPhone's Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding > your iPad here.

Make sure you are using the same Apple ID & password
