We have an iPad that has cellular service but no cell number attached so we aren’t able to send text messages to android devices. I’ve tried adding the phone number but I need a verification code but it won’t send the verification code. Any help?
iPad Air 3 WiFi, Cellular
A cellular iPad is cellular for data only. Your iPad does NOT have a cellular radio, thus by itself, it cannot send SMS MMS text messages. You use Continuity Services from your iPhone to be able to send and receive text messages to non-iPhone/iPad users.
You must have an iPhone. See this link about Text Message Forwarding from iPhone to iPad --> How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac - Apple Support
