    you can't change phone number on an ipad

     

    you can only change the appleid which will stop the whole imessage malfunction

     

    if you guys have the same appleid then you'll both be receiving the same messages all the time

     

    to change it go to settings itunes store change the appleid

     

    and also settings message and change the one from there aswell.

     

    once your appleid is changed it should be alright

    You don't need to have separate Apple ID's, just use different email addresses on each device for iMesage... Settings > Messages > Receive At
