Problem texting between android and apple

[AC Question]

No one seems to understand English. I have never ever had any kind of Apple product or phone number. I am trying to set up text messaging from my android cell phone having never had an apple phone number to a friend's apple phone number but I am unable to text him and he is unable to text me. It has nothing to do with either of us leaving apple for android. He has always had apple and I have always had android. How do we text?

Is your friend sending you you regular SMS or iMessages?

He will will need to ensure that he does not have you as an iMessage contact, since you do not have an iPhone.
