Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
I am trying to send and receive messages on my iPad using my phone number. My phone and iPad are both logged in with the same Apple ID, but under send and receive messages on my iPad it doesn’t offer my phone number as an option to send and receive messages. I just used my new product session to find out why, we thought we had the problem fixed, but the phone number doesn’t show up. Help
This should help get you going.
Set up Messages on iPad – Apple Support (AU)
and
Use Messages in iCloud – Apple Support (AU)
DO be aware that your iPad can’t send SMS texts except via your iPhone. It makes no difference even if your iPad has a SIM (or eSIM) either.
So after following the setup instructions, you’ll still need your iPhone.
