No, you must get a 3rd party texting app like haywire, text now, or text plus. My favorite is haywire because you can reply to facebook messages also, and post to twitter viah sms. HTH

I know that with the IPad Mini you can only send IMessages. Is there an app to be downloaded where you can send to others, even if they don't have the app too?
