You need to get a text messaging app from the App Store like the one below.

If you have an iPhone you can connect the iPad to it with iOS Continutiy - Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support and then send either iMessage or SMS texts from your iPad. Your iphone will do all the actual sending and receiving and then share messages with the iPad over wifi.
