Just got an iPad PRO with SIM and can't see how to send/receive texts to non-Apple devices. Any thoughts?

@Anonymous If you are also using an iPhone, go into settings, messaging, text message forwarding and make sure the iPad Pro toggle is green.

Does iMessage use the SIM? If not, why the hell does O2 bundle the iPad with a tariff that includes 100 free texts? If it DOES use the SIM, how do I make it work? Every time I creat ad send a messsage it fails ... in red!

It does use the sim for this but only the data connection off the sim.
ALL tablet tariffs come with texts as some of the more capable android tablets can send and receive them.

You don't have a data connection or you have run out of data.
Check mobile data switch is ebabled in settings or try it on wifi.

Here's a summary of my woes:
I have had several goes at resolving my issue with the O2 Support Advisors, but still to no avail. This culminated in a promised call back from an O2 Support Manager yesterday (17 March) p.m. ... that did not materialise.

But you will need to register on a phone that can receive the confirmation text.
O2 have never provided voice on any tablet tariff and they aren't designed to be a replacement for a phone I'm afraid.
