I found the resolution! To recap, My iPad was unable to send/receive iMessages using my iPhone number. It was only showing my email address as an option. It all has to do with your iPhone, not your iPad.
Go to your iPhone and navigate to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive. At the top, you should notice that it is asking you to sign in using your AppleID. You must sign in on your iPhone or it will not know to sync it up with your iPad. Once you login, you will notice that your phone now shows your phone number and email address. Go back to your iPad and navigate to Settings>Messages>Send&Receive. You need to sign out of your AppleID from here. Simply sign back in and voila! You will get a pop up message telling you what you've done. Go to your iPhone and it will give you similar messages saying that the iPad was set up with that phone number. Enjoy!
This may have worked for you, but for a growing number of people, it's not working for us.
-We have no option to select between our phone number or email
-We have no caller id selection option
-Recieve & Send only has the email listed (phone # is greyed out and can't be ticked)
-Signing in and out does nothing
-Resetting network settings doesn't work
I'm thinking some of you were just lucky and it started working on it's own again after you did reset the power and what not. For the vast majority and the 290,000 plus views from this topic alone, it isn't working.
