Apple iPad- a multifunctional, convenient and practical gadget, one of the disadvantages of which is the impossibility of working with traditional messages of the GSM standard - SMS and MMS. Many users note the importance of being able to receive messages on the iPad - this option expands the capabilities of the device. Sending messages using iPad is beneficial in a number of cases:
- the phone is completely discharged;
- there are no funds on the mobile account;
- there is a desire to open up new possibilities of your own gadget;
- accelerated typing of long messages thanks to the large screen.
IPad software (iPod Touch) does not allow them to send SMS to mobile numbers. This issue can be solved by working with numerous sites that provide free SMS delivery services. This process is not convenient for everyone - most Apple device users prefer to use VoIP telephony to send messages.
Programs such as Skype, Mail agent, Viber, Hangouts allow sending messages to subscribers connected to the Internet, but at the same time they are absolutely useless for those who use communications exclusively of the GSM standard.
For the happy owners of devices with iOS 8.1 (or OS X Yosemite) there is no reason to worry - thanks to the synchronization of devices via Bluetooth, the iPhone phone call is displayed on the iPad screen (using the HandOff function).
Owners of devices with version iOS above 4th the best option would be to use the regular iMessage messenger. Those with older Apple devices will love the App Store apps that let you send or receive SMS messages using your iPad.
HandOff feature running iOS 8.1 (OS X Yosemite)
Developers of modern devices are fond of synchronization, involving all gadgets in contact with a person in cooperation. Mobile phone, tablet, laptop - now there is no emphasis on one thing.
Thanks to the function HandOff you can receive messages on the iPad, make calls, work with documents simultaneously on three different devices. The convenience lies in the fact that this operation does not require switching from gadget to gadget - all changes in documents are recorded by each of them.
Didn't have time to finish writing the text or send a message from the laptop - you can add it on the tablet (add it and send it using your phone)! Now the Mac platform is synchronized with the iOS platform - all devices of these lines communicate with each other via WiFi in order to perform one, the most important function. To do this, all gadgets within the "family access" are tied to one account iCloud.
Receiving and sending SMS messages to iPad using Apple iMessage app
For owners of "smart devices" with IOS version higher than the fourth, the IMessage application has recommended itself. This program is specially designed for messaging between Apple devices.
This specificity has both advantages and disadvantages. On the positive side, you don't have to spend money to exchange SMS. Convenient usability, the presence of contacts "at hand" allow you to receive or send messages through the iPad at any time, without interrupting important matters.
Watching a movie, listening to music or painstaking work on a document can easily be combined with lively correspondence.
The disadvantage of the iMessage application is its focus exclusively on users of Apple devices. If the user's relatives or friends use gadgets on another platform, it will not be possible to “connect” them a priori.
Special SMS-sharing programs for iPad
In the Russian AppStore, you can download and install the SMS Center program. This application allows you to send up to 30 free SMS per month, exceeding the limit will require certain cash infusions from those who like to communicate. To send SMS, you have to enter the phone number (on whose behalf they are sent) and go through the verification procedure.
In addition, a network connection is required for the program to work. WiFi / 3G... The disadvantage of the application is the lack of a function for receiving messages on the iPad, as well as the low reliability of its work.
Program EasySMS HD works with a micro SIM card using a 3G module to connect to the network. You can send only 5 SMS messages to iPad for free. The program can work with a limited number of mobile operators. The downside is its paid basis, limited compatibility, the obligatory synchronization of a microSIM card with a phone or USB-modem.
Program UMS from the operator Megafon allows you to send (receive) SMS and MMS messages using a special web resource that combines contacts from the phone book and social network accounts.
This allows you to switch between correspondence in the GSM format and online services. The advantage of the program is the ability to store all SMS-correspondence "in the cloud", the disadvantage is its low security.

It is not good for children to poke their noses into business correspondence with their parents, and those - into each other's personal mail. If we are talking about a service, then there are several ways to solve the problem, depending on the specifics of the situation using a particular iPad.

1. Deactivate iMessage on this device
Simple, effective, but so radical that it is not suitable for everyone - if there is a desire to correspond through a common family tablet, this method is clearly not suitable.

Go to Settings iOS, we find the tab “ Posts"And turn the switch to the" Off". There will be a need - everything can be returned back.
2. Remove the binding to used identifiers
Several types of personal data can be linked to, and in this case we are interested in the phone number and email address.

The system allows you to add to the specified in the settings Apple ID e-mail address three more aliases, alternative mail addresses to which messages can be sent. The first can be transferred to business partners, the second can be made common to all household members, the third can be reserved for other needs. Then, on his personal iPhone, the head of the family puts out one address, and on his home tablet another, and gets rid of the anxious thoughts that the children will find out about his problems at work, and the wife about an emerging romance on the side.
4. Create an additional Apple ID
Suitable for situations where privacy requirements are not an empty phrase, or someone in the family adheres to the principles of healthy egoism and always separates the personal from the general. On the technical side of the issue on our website, on the practical side, this is an almost ideal solution to the problem, for example, one Apple ID can be used on the iPad only for family downloads of content from the iTunes Store and App Store, another for personal correspondence, but on another iOS device ...
