Send messages as texts on a manual basis
Let me know if it helps. Good luck :)

An iPad cannot send or receive SMS/MMS messages except with the help of an iPhone on the same Apple ID set to relay the messages to/from the SMS/MMS system through the iMessage system. It just doesn't have the hardware. (Even iPads with cellular data hardware cannot connect to the voice/SMS part of the cellular system.)
Hi DjSharonRPL,
Although not recommend, you would need to disable iMessage: Deregister iMessage on your iPhone or online - Apple Support.
Cheers,
Jack
