My daughter sends me regular Messages from her iPhone 4S to my iPad. She sends the message to my email address. I can reply by sending a Message to her phone number.


Are both devices yours? Are you using different email address for each device?

I use iMessage on my phone and iPad.

In the system settings make sure iMessage is turned on. Here you can specify how you want to receive a message, by email address, phone number.....I have email address as recipient on my iPad and phone number as recipient on my iPhone. Everything works fine.

THanks. That did it
