imessage not working on iphone but it works on ipad

I'm not getting text messages on my iphone but they show up on my ipad; I kind of fix the issue by turning imessage off on the ipad; this problem just started happening after everything was working correctly. All messages (iMessages) were being received on both devices, and now they only show up on the ipad and not on the iphone; imessages are supposed to show up on both devices right? Am I missing something?

iPhone 4S, iOS 6.0.1

Try to unsign and sign in again.


For FaceTime and iMessage chosse to use your email address instead of your mobile number.


Go to Settings>>Message>>Send&Receive and set your email address.


If it is still not working, unsign your Apple ID and select your mobile number ("+" "country code" "mobile number").


Also check in: Settings>>Message if you turned on iMessage before. Here, turn off "Show Subject Field".


Did you turn on iCloud as well?
