Cant sent text because it says the cell phone number is not an ios5

when i try to send a text message from my ipad, it won't accept a cell phone number as a recipient, says it is not registered with iMessage.

"Demo" provided the following in a previous post...
It means exactly what it says. That user has not registered and setup Messages on his or her device yet so you can not message with them. They have to set it up first before you can reach them. It does not happen automatically just because you are sending them a message.
Messages only works with other iOS devices - not Android phones - so the person that you want to Message with must have an iPod Touch, iPad, iPhone or a Mac running Mountain Lion.
