I want to send a text message to my mates ipad how do we do that. If i send it from my ipad to his phone it arrives on his phone. Do we need our ipads phone numbers?
Not bothered about it not being SMS and all that just want to send stuff to his ipad without sending an email etc..
What do we need to do.
iPad 2, iOS 5.0.1
Go to Settings/Messages tap on "Receive At". Enter an email address. Make sure your mates iPhone is set to receive messages at his/her phone number and not the same email address he entered on his iPad. Any messages sent to your mate's email address set up in messages will be sent to his/her iPad.
Ok so mine is set up for my mac.com email already so does that mean any mac.com emails will come to messages...?
Sorry slightly confused.
Ok cool got it now I think..
basicall you set up the ipad messaging to recive on an email as you described above. (Settings/Messages tap on "Receive At". Enter an email address)
then in messages app itself instead of a phone number you put in the email adress that the ipad is set up to and then it comes in direct to messages app and not to the mail app.
Cool.
You got it. To send a message to the iPhone select the phone number. To send a message to the iPad select the email address.
hello
listang1986,
Do you have a question? I suggest you start a new question that gives a good title to a specific problem. Then in the body of the thread describe the problem in detail, tell us what steps you have tried so far to correct the problem, what happened, and what error messages you received.
iPad to iPad direct via messages app
