Send Text Messages
THANKS TO THE APPLE’S iMessage service and its Messages app in iOS 5 and later, iPad owners now have a way to send unlimited, free text messages, photos, videos, and more to people who are also running Messages on their iPads, iPhones, and iPod Touches. There’s even a version of the program for Mac OS X Lion (and later). And the iMessage service works over a WiFi, 4G, or 3G connection. Setting up Messages takes just a few steps:
-
On the Home screen, tap open the Messages app. The first time you start it up, it asks you to enter your Apple user name and password. (If you’ve blown off Apple’s previous 36 attempts to get you to sign up for an Apple ID, tap Create New Account and follow along on-screen.) The email address you use with your Apple ID is the one people need in order to communicate with you over the iMessage network.
