Have new iPad, which is not allowing messages to or from android phone users. Also, have an iPhine and iPad Air which do allow Android messaging. How do I fix new iPad?

Hello,

Please verify the following:

•Messages is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad in Settings > Tap your account > iCloud.

•iMessage is enabled on your iPhone and iPad in Settings > Messages.

•Text Message forwarding is enabled on your iPhone in Settings > Messages.

Use What’sApp. That’s the only way I can send non-iMessage “txts” with my cellular enabled iPad. I asked my mobile network why I was given 100 txt’s per month if I cannot use them on my iPad Pro to be told “just in case I put the sim into a phone”... There are a few WhatsApp Desktop connected apps on the App Store but they all require your phone to be next to the iPad & connected to same WiFi network to be used.
