Unless you also have an iPhone, your iPad cannot send or receive SMS or MMS messages to phone numbers - as these are Cellular Carrier features. Without an iPhone, your iPad is limited to sending/receiving messages via the Apple-proprietary Messages App.
Native iMessages are directed to Apple recipients by their registered email addresses - and not by their Cellular phone numbers.
To use SMS/MMS messaging from the iPad Messages App, your iPhone must be logged-in to iCloud with the same AppleID - and message forwarding to your iPad must be enabled on the iPhone.

A cellular model iPad with an Cellular data plan has an associated telephone number - however, this number is only used to identify your account and for billing purposes.
I hope this is helpful in clarifying your iPads Messaging features.
