Apple Event: May 7th at 7 am PT
Hello, I have an iPad 1 and IPhone 4. I would like to receive and view messages from my iPhone on my iPad as i do alot of work on my ipad and find it rather annoying to keep picking up my phone when I could potentially view and send through iMessages on my iPad. Is this possible? If so, how? Thank you

If you are using your phone number as your contact at address for messages, you will have to add the phone number to the iPad messages setting. You may need to sign out out Messages on your phone in order to accomplish this.

Great article, thank you. iPad still won't recognize my phone number though when I turn iMessage on and off on my iPad. The only thing I can do is log into my apple ID. Any thoughts?
Thanks again
According to what it states at the end of the article, try running off and logging out of Messages on the phone and the iPad.

It looks like after fixing their security issue with Apple ID's, it no longer works at all for some accounts. This prevents iMessage and Facetime from linking to a phone number. What happened to Apple? I used to be fine paying a premium price for a premium product, but now, everytime they fix or upgrade something, it's done in a Microsoft kind of way. They're very close to losing another long time customer.
