What type of messages are you having trouble with? SMS (green)? Or iMessages (blue)? Are you having trouble on only one device? Or both? What kind of error messages are you seeing? What do they say?


If the problem is that you can't send SMS messages from your iPad, it most likely means that Text Message Forwarding got turned off. On your iPhone, go to Settings>Messages>Text Message Forwarding and re-enable your iPad.
