Will Continuity's Feature Of Sending Sms Messages Work With All Mobile Providers ?

[CreativeAnto]

Greetings and best wishes from Ireland... and a very happy new year to all!!!!

Can you send SMS + MMS messages using Continuity in Yosemite in Ireland (Vodafone) ? I'm running 10.10.1 on my MacPro 12 Core (with Continuity Activation Tool successfully installed). If I start an email I can continue on my Mac or Vice versa on my iPhone 6 Plus or iPad Air 2.... but I thought Continuity/Handoff also allowed you to send SMS messages to non iPhone users.... but if I start a message on my iPad using message and try and send to a non-iPhone users it won't allow me to send and the same using iMessage on my Mac. Is there something I'm doing wrong or is there a problem with my mobile phone provider Vodafone that they don't support this feature. Has anyone had a similar experience.

Any comments or suggestions most welcome.

Regards,
Anthony

Handoff is an OS feature. To be specific, it is an iOS 8/OS X Yosemite feature. If your device is not booted into an OS that supports the feature, then you cannot expect it to work.
