New iPad Pro, but am unable to send a text from iMessage to a known phone number, says user not registered with iMessage and name appears in Red. When sending to same number from iPhone, the text goes right through. Any ideas for a fix?
iPad Pro 11-inch Wi-Fi
Your iPad is not a cellular telephone. It has no capability to send or receive SMS messages, whether it’s a cellular iPad or not.
You may, however, use Handoff to coordinate SMS messages with your iPhone.

I was able to text this same number from my old iPad Mini 4 with no problem, as long as the iPad was connected to WiFi. What changed?
What changed is very likely that your previous iPad had Handoff properly set up in Settings.
Thanks. I also have a new iPhone, so checked it, and you were right. I updated its settings so will see if that fixed things.
Excellent. Enjoy all your new Apple gear!
