Hello riktexan,


Thank you for your reply. The Text Message Forwarding setting is found on your iPhone under Settings > Messages. You can find more information here: How to forward SMS/MMS text messages from your iPhone to your iPad, iPod touch or Mac.


Take care.

So far, none of the "solutions" have worked. Following from your document, I have done all the items under "Try these first."

"This user is not registered with Message." said to make sure Text Message Forwarding" is set up and my iPhone is on. Where is "Text Message Forwarding?" My iPhone is on.

I cannot send messages except when I am responding to a message that was sent to me. Then, Messages works as advertised. I cannot originate any messages.
