    You can't send SMS messages using an iPad only. If you use text message forwarding on the phone, you can use the iPad to dens and receive the messages as long as the phone and the iPad are on the same WiFi network, and you are signed into iCloud.

     

    You should be able to send an iMessage from an iPad to an iPhone if the phone that you want to text with is set up and resigistered to use the iMessages app. The message that you are receiving indicates that the phone is not register to use the messages app. Once the user sets it up on the phone, you should be able to send iMessages to that phone.
