You can't send text messages from an iPad. You can send messages via imessage, whatsapp etc.

Edit: There is an app / wprk around you can use. Read here:

I was told when took device my plan came with 100 texts that can use on here but yet i cart figure out why But I try that thanks

From what I can see, that won't allow you to use the free messages that you have.

It's a shame that MightyText isn't available for ios due to Apple restrictions. Android tablets utilise this for texting from their allowances.

Try looking for texting apps in iTunes.

I thought true that you could use tu

You need a mobile contract to use TuGo so it depends what type of account the OP has.

I got a UK mobile broadband using Ipad 4 for don't make sense why they say u have 100 messages use yet you carnt use them

Because "most" mobile broadband devices can send texts they include a hundred texts with the plans.
Unfortunately Apple didn't feel the need to include basic gsm features with their on board modem for iPad minis.
The only way is through a messaging app.

Or ...when I read about this last night @viridis it was talking about the need for an iPhone to work with the iPad so you can use Apples 'Continuity' programme with regards to sms....?? Seemed a roundabout way of achieving not much at all...
