Texting on iPad to non iPhone
Stephen93

I've been able to text a non iPhone from my iPad for a week or so, a code came up on the iPad to be entered into the iPhone fir me to do this.

Since then I've changed my plan on Vodafone & now when I try to text a Samsung phone I get failed, anyone any ideas please?

That sounds unlikely. Did you have an iPhone before?

The text message forwarding may just need resetting.

On the iPhone go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding
and check the iPad is still listed there, and cycle between off and on again to see if that helps.

yes he does - doesn't he? he mentions it on the first line.

Isn't it just using the continuity feature within IOS?
