There are text apps that do work so you can text from the iPad .. I've done it for years
How do you send and receive text messages to and from the iPad.
any suggestions?
There are third-party messaging apps which are cross-platform but they're nowhere near as integrated or seamless as iMessage, since iMessage will just work out whether to send things as iMessages or SMS/MMS.
