I have set up my iPad to communicate by text, but it won't make contact with an Android phone.

I found an item about forwarding from an iPad through an iPhone, but am unsure if it will work here because my wife has an iPhone but I don't. She has an iPad also, but doesn't text from it, so maybe I could forward through her iPhone? Her iPhone, however, is not in our wifi zone when I'm texting.

Failing that, is there an app? Duh. Of course there must be an app. Cane someone point me to it/them with recommendations?
