My new iPad isn’t letting me send non iMessage messages

I can’t seem to send or receive messages that are not iMessages. I have a new iPad A16 and have linked it to my iPhone. My old iPad worked fine. What am I doing wrong? I have turned iMessage off and on and restarted my tablet.

iPad, iPadOS 18
