That's correct. In order for Ant to send an SMS text message from
his computer to someone's phone, he needs to have an iPhone and the
"text message forwarding" feature of OS X (part of Continuity in
Yosemite) enabled. Since the text message is a simple SMS message, th
recipient may have any SMS-capable phone.
