Yes you'd think so , mine has 3G and a number but nine of the text apps I know of work in the UK (or Vodafone) I guess because the number has no texting enabled on the account. No texting allowance

Why is there a message APP if you can't use it on the iPad?

THe Message app on the iPad is used for iMessaging othe riOS users, sort of like Apple's version of Blackberry Mobile Messenger. In order to send an SMS, you would need one of the apps mentioned in the thread.
