Hi! I'm new to apple, I recently got myself an ipad air 4 but I have some doubts with it. first thing is, can I send and receive messages using my sim card in an ipad without using iphone? is that possible. please help me out guys....
SMS are sent over the voice network, not over the Internet. The Sim card in an iPad provides a data plan connection to the Internet as opposed to a phone number. You can, however send messages to other iOS devices through their AppleIDs.

Depending on the model, specific Sim cards are required in order to work with the iPad:

Sorry, it is not possible to send or receive SMS or MMS messages directly from your iPad unless you have an iPhone.
If you have Cellular model iPad with an active Cellular service plan, the Cellular Number associated with your DataSIM is only used to identify your Cellular Account for billing purposes; it is not used to make or receive cellular calls or text messages.
An iPad, whether a Cellular model or not, is not capable of directly accessing Cellular Voice or SMS/MMS Messaging features. An iPad with either WiFi or Cellular connectivity alone can only access IP-data services.
However, If paired with an iPhone, the capabilities of iPad significantly broaden to include access to Cellular Voice and Messaging services of the associated iPhone - relayed to the iPad over WiFi using Apple’s continuity features.
More information about Continuity and the relevant Cellular services can be found here:
