You can totally do that as long as you have set that option up on your iPhone. Take a look at the steps below to walk you through setting that up.
Connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac using Continuity
https://support.apple.com/en-us/HT204681
To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
- Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
- Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
- On your iPhone:
- Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address.
- Go to Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
- Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature
Take it easy,
-Norm G.

everything I knew to do...which wasn't much. I'm so glad someone else had the same problem, and you posted the answer. It never would have occurred to me that I needed to adjust something on my phone, to make something on my iPad work....but it worked!
Thanks again
