Looks like no one’s replied in a while. To start the conversation again, simply ask a new question.

I have an Iphone 4S and Ipad 2 and I would like to receive text messages on both.

I am trying to receive my texts on my iphone and ipad, but can't. I have my phone # and email address set up on both devices. I get only a few of my messages on both. Do I have something set up wrong, or is it not possible to receive all of my messages on both devices.

Second, I am unable to text on my ipad 2 from my contact list. Again, i can only text a few contacts, but the majority of my contacts are untextable. I understand that you have to text to an apple product, but my son has an iphone 4 and i can't text him from my ipad. Help!!

iPad 2 Wi-Fi + 3G, iOS 6.0.1

You can only send a message another Apple device.
