He didn't have to say anything about an iPhone. He wants to send a text
message to a non-Apple phone. To do that, he will have to use SMS rather
than iMessage, because iMessage isn't supported on non-Apple phones. If
he wants to send SMS messages from his computer, he has two options:

1. Use the text message forwarding feature already mentioned.
2. Send an email message to the SMS gateway for the recipient's cellular
provider:
