How do I set up sms on my iPad?

[vkit30]

Hi, I have just got an iPad Pro 12.9 2020 on monthly contract and it states I have 100 sms. 
I am trying to text o2 for the loyalty family discount and it says not delivered. 
How do I set up sms through this iPad and if not then what is the point of having sms texts allowance on my contract???

Thanks.

You can't text from an iPad.

You'll need to put SIM in your phone to text for loyalty discount.

You have to put the sim in a phone to use the texts unless you can get an app for the ipad which allows you to text. Look in the Apple store for text apps @vkit30

How long did it take you to get it on delivery

Thank you MI5 and jonsie for your replies.
I did wonder if I should put the SIM card in my phone. 😊

I got it next day but it was an upgrade from another iPad.
