”New” suggests a change of device.


You’ll need to ensure that SMS (and optionally MMS) is explicitly enabled on your iPhone - and that Text Message Forwarding is also correctly configured on iPhone.


On your iPhone:

Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your [new] iPad from the list of devices.

Settings > Messages > MMS Messaging - set to ON


Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:

Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
