Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I have an standard setup with iPhone from which i send and receive iMessages and sms messages. iMessage is also set up on my iPad (set to receive from my phone number and iCloud addresses, and send from my phone number), but sms messages do not show up on my iPad and fail to send if i try to send from my ipad. What am i doing wrong?

You must explicitly enable Text Message Forwarding for your iPad on your iPhone.
On your iPhone:
Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding - set to ON - and explicitly enable your iPad from the list of devices.
Also ensure that Messages in iCloud is enabled on both your iPhone and iPad:
Settings > [Your Name / AppleID] > Messages - set to ON
More information:
Fault finding if needed:
If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
I hope you find this to helpful in resolving the issue.

On the iPhone, make sure the iPad is showing under messages->text message forwarding.
