I'm not really entirely savvy when it comes to this type of stuff, but I was wondering if anyone was especially familiar with this app.
Personally, I absolutely loathe cell phones, and chose to stop carrying one several years ago. If nothing else, it stops me from getting called into work every single time I have a day off (even now, I see my boss's face glow with delight whenever he sees my MP3 player... "You finally got a cell phone again!?"). It's liberating to be able to give the excuse of "I didn't answer your call because I was out" too.
However, at times, I do wish to be able to reach someone via text. Someone told me to checkout What's App, but I couldn't find it for the iPad. Seems to be iPhone only. Facebook messenger is nice, but not everyone has Facebook. So I decided to tinker with the default Message App on my iPad. Tried to send one friend a message, and it failed. Tried another, and it worked. Tried to message myself, and it failed. The friend who got the message said the contact showed up as my email address (same one as linked with my Apple account).
Any reason why I can message some, but not others, including myself?
Any better apps out there that work on the iPad, where I could message basically anyone provided I have their cell number?
