Can I send text messages on my tablet?

[AC Question]

I need to send a TeX to someone's phone can I do that with my tablet ? If so how do I do it?

Not unless it takes a sim card which is highly unlikely. You need to use email or something like Hangouts but it has to be installed on both devices

SMS texting requires a phone connection.

Your other options are to use a wifi or mobile data connection with an "instant message" app.

That said, some of the phone carriers have a web interface to the SMS system that you can use your web browser for.

Yes. Despite what previous posters have incorrectly posted sending an SMS doesn't need a sim card. There are loads of web sites that come used to send SMS. Like this one

The issue is most SMS apps will want to confirm your number. If you don't have one, it's hard to do that. I think there is a work around with Google Voice, but I am not sure if it will work.

Are you asking about a text message, or a TeX file? (TeX is a Latex source file, and it can be attached to an email the same as any other file.)
