Solved: Free Texts

MilkyBarKid · ‎05-02-2020

Hi. I have a Data Only SIM, with a number allocated, installed in an IPAD. My plan has 100 free texts. Most of the posts I have read on the sublect of sending text from an IPAD are at least two years old.

I am trying to find out if there is any way yet to send and receive texts using the sim and number in the ipad, not using Messages App and the plan on my phone.

I understand that texts are sent over the voice network, not over the data network, so I am assuming that WIFI calling would need to be enabled for the IPAD. Does anyone know if there are there any plans to do this?

Unfortunately, an iPad cannot still send or receive sms messages.
