imacs and ipads can't send sms's the only way to send an sms to a non apple device is by having an iphone with the same appleID https://www.laptopmag.com/articles/send-sms-messages-ipad


sms exist outside of the internet and something needs to bridge between internet devices like macs and cellular network where sms's live and iphone can be that


another option is using whatsapp or facebook messager both which has macOS clients and android clients
