Not receiving text messages on iPad

Since I reset my iPhone, I have not been receiving text messages.

I checked settings and messages and only my email shows up. I can't find anything to help me edit this to change to my phone number.


iPad Air 2, 15

Yes, it seems that your phone number is not registered in iMessages. If it's not on your iPhone, it won't be on your iPad either. It could easily be due to Reset, but your number should very much register again when you sign in to your Apple ID.


Do you have a SIM card with a working number in your iPhone?

Try to follow the same procedure as on your iPad, just on your iPhone.
