Q: How do I set up SMS messaging on my iPad Pro?
FFirst off, I don'T have a Mac. All the search results I got replated to folks with Macs as well as iPads &/or iPhones.
I'm trying to send messages to folks that don't use iMessage, but they don't get delivered. I can't find how to set up SMS texting - it's not an option that I can find in Messaging settings. What am I missing?
THis happens both on my iPhone 6s and my iPad Pro (the pad doesn't have cellular data capability.)
Can anybody help?
THanks!
iPad Pro, iOS 9.3.4, No cellular capability

In order to SMS from an iPad, you'll also need to have an iPhone. On the iPhone, you go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding and enable it for your iPad. Both devices need to be activated on the same Apple ID.
