Unable to send TXT to non-Apple devices from Messages

How do I send a text message from Messages on my MacBook Pro to a device that doesn't use Messages or isn't an Apple device?


The phone number shows up red and the message won't send.

MacBook Pro 13″

You can only send message to an non-Apple device if you have an iPhone and enable Text forwarding.


Please see:

It is the same process for sending from your Macbook Pro
