Q: How do I send a text to sms text user?

Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support

Hi

Text message service is run by your network service provider

You get charged for sending Text messages .

Thats why it doesn't work on ipads only works to other iphone/ iPads

From Apple devices.

ipads do not have the capability of sending regular SMS text messages. They send iMessages but these only go to Apple devices. If you want to send an SMS text search the App Store for an app that will send SMS messages.
