Hi bronwyn215,
We understand you're running into some problems with sending and receiving messages on your iPad, and we're here to help. When you say the iPad has stopped sending and receiving text messages, are you still able to receive iMessages on the iPad without any issues? If it's only affecting SMS text messages with green text bubbles, the article below should help.
How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac
If you can't send or receive messages on the iPad at all, can you please let us know which iPadOS version is installed? This can be found in Settings > General > About and will help us better determine our next steps.
We're here for you, and look forward to learning the results.
Best regards.

the iPads version on my iPad is 14.8.1, and I am not receiving the messages I get on my phone nor can I send messages from the iPad. It was working until yesterday morning and then just stopped.
Sorry about the last message. Your link to setting it up on my iMac worked as I had recently changed something on there. Many thanks!
