Can I send a text from my ipad to a droid?

IF YOU ONLY HAVE WIFI: you can download a texting app (which gives you your own #) and then YES, you can text anyone's cell phone or device as long as they have a phone # as well.
IF YOU HAVE 3G (INTERNET EVERYWHERE) OR A TEXTING PLAN: YES you can, if you have 3G, then follow the instructions for wifi
if you have 3g, then you should be able to enter the messaging application on your iPad and send a message to anyone with a valid phone #!
I hope I was able to help you converse with whoever you are trying to converse with...

Can i send a text from my ipad

Can i send a text from my i pad to any phone? How do you do it!
Thankyou!

There may be some apps that will allow sending a text to other non Apple phones. Search the App Store.
The Messages app that comes on an iPad can send iMessages to other iOS devices only.

When I send a text from my iPad, it shows that it comes from my email address. If I then text that same someone from my iPhone it still shows as if its coming from my iPad. How do I stop this?

On your iPhone, go to Settings -> Messages -> Receive At -> Caller ID and make sure the phone number is selected - this will cause new messages sent from your iPhone to appear to come from your iPhone phone number.
(I actually prefer to have my email selected, so that when I message someone from my iPhone and they reply, it goes to both my iPhone and iPad)
Also, when you send a message from your iPhone, make sure you're not replying within an existing conversation (that was created on your iPad and linked to your email). Just start a new conversation (even if it's to the same person) by going to the Messages app, going back to "Messages" (top left corner) if you're already looking at a conversation, and then clicking the Compose icon in the top right.

When I send a text from my IPad to an IPhone there is no alert on the phone letting them know they have a text

When I send a text from my IPad to my wife's IPhone no alert sounds on the phone and is not displayed on the screen.Do I not have some settings right?

The settings issue would be on your wife's iPhone, assuming the message is being displayed on her phone.

Can't send photo text from iphone 4s to non iPhone

I have a 4s iPhone but can't send photo text message to husband who doesn't have iPhone. Can send to people with iphone though. Need some help...

I've been having problems with texting pictures since I updated to iOS 7 too but have yet to find a solution that actually works. I have also tried to reset my phone numerours times, have MMS turned on, etc. It doesn't matter if I'm trying to send the picture to another Apple user or not.
It usually takes about 3 or 4 tries to get the picture to go through, but in many cases I have to turn my phone off then back on for it to work.
PS - I am in Canada & my service provider is Bell. However I don't believe it is a Bell issue as I didn't have any problems until AFTER the update. Had hoped the latest update this week would've fixed it but if anything it seems worse.

HT3529 How can I have my phone number pop up when I send a text from my iPad?

I did a test text to my iPhone from my iPad and it came up as my email. How can I make it my phone number so I can text people in my contacts without it showing up as my email?

On the iPhone and iPad go to Settings/Messages/Send & Receive, set the "Start a new conversation from..." your phone number.

I can't send SMS text from iPad 4 w/ cellular, no option to add or turn off/on

I can no longer send SMS text with IPad 4 w/ cellular. There is no option in settings-messages to turn on SMS like on iphone5. Everything is trying to be sent iMessage which fails when sending text to non apple users. This change occurred after last iOS update.

I can confirm this for the Ipad Mini with iOS6.1
Although the cellular hardware is available - the iPad doesn't handle SMS Text messages.
For those trying to use prepaid 3G internet data simcards, not being able to send or receive text messages pretty much cripples most 3G prepaid internet simcard packages available around the world.

Thanks.

Can I send Rhapsody music from my iPad/iPhone App to my Audio Receiver over wifi? If so, how?

Want to play my music(itunes and Rhapsody) throughout my house without having to leave the device directly connect at the Receiver. Can I do this with the Airport Express? If so, how?

Yes, this is one of the things the AE is designed for. It's called AirPlay. Both iTunes and Rhapsody should work with AirPlay.

How can a send a text?

How I can send a text from my iPad.

You can't send texts to a cell phone your iPad, but you can send iMessages (a special kind of text message, essentially) to other iPads, iPhones, or iPod Touches if they (and you) are running iOS 5.0 or later and have iMessage set up and enabled. You do this through the Messages app. Make sure it's on in Settings > Messages.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck.

I am getting a "not delivered" when I try to send a photo from my Ipad or iPhone via iMessage. I can receive photos in iMessage and I can send and receive photos other than with iMessage. I have tried restoring factory settings etc but no luck. Is anyone else having this problem please?

I've been having this problem too, but here's the catch: originally it was only with my dad, and only sometimes. Now it's dad and husband, every time! Pix go through, via imessage, to everyone else, and they go through to dad/husband if I "send as text" after it fails.
And the other annoying thing- the blue bar will run all the way, and it will say "delivered". So I close out of imessage. When I reopen it again, the "delivered" has changed to "not delivered" with the red exclamation point. I just googled "imessage not sending photos" and founds TONS of people with the same problem, but no solutions. (I have rebooted phone, reset network settings, with no luck. I even had to backup/delete/restore my whole phone the other day for a different reason, and hoped that would fix it, but now it won't send to my dad OR my husband (who is on not just the same carrier, but the same family plan as me)

LG Octane without a data plan. Any way I can send a text from my Octane to my computer gmail?

I have an LG Octane without a data plan (have an iPad for that). I want to send texts from my Octane to my gmail. Any way I can do that through Verizon. I know I can use @vtext to send email to a phone number. But can I send a text to an email? Thanks.

If you have a text plan just input the email address in the to field of the text and send away. If you don't have a text plan then I think you would be charged per text. Mary

There is a huge difference between sending email and sending messages.
Yes, I believe you when you say you can only send messages to other Apple products. The iPad is not a telephone, and therefore, it cannot text message. It can only iMessage, which means it can send and receive messages to/from other Apple products if they are on WiFi or an iMessage capable cellular network.
Email, however, is a whole different category. I don't really think you can only exchange email with other Apple products only. Make sure you have correctly identified the symptoms.
