Q: How can I send messages through the messages icon on my Ipad 3?

I see that there is a messages icon ( for short message service) on my Ipad-3 however I don't seem to be able to use it the way I do it on my Iphone.

Is there a possibility to use this icon on the Ipad as well?

The Messages icon on your iPad is not for "short message service" (more commonly known as SMS) - it is for Apple's iMessage service.

See https://www.apple.com/ios/messages/ for how to set it up.
