Sending SMS

[Mr_Jiminy]

A special school is wanting to instruct a small number of pupils on the safe usage of mobile devices, mainly in composing SMS.

 

They have a provision of iPad's, however I'm reluctant to utilise these, largely because they are supervised devices, locked down to prevent the obvious.

 

Can anyone recommend anything that could be used for demo and practice that may fit the bill?

What exactly are you trying to do? I don't get the requirement. You want something that sends SMS to each other?

[Mr_Jiminy]

Yep, securely.

Could you not use iMessage on the iOS devices you have? Just turn it off afterwards?

I think that's the best answer, why over complicate.

The devices are in supervised mode, I'd rather not keep enabling/ disabling.
