My understanding it that you need to upgrade to iOS8 (Version 8.1) to enable the feature which you will find in "messages" under settings. Select "Text Message Forwarding" and then select your hardware Mac or Tablet. A authentication number should appear to activate this new feature. My tech issue is that I'm not seeing an authentication number and I'm currently using an iPhone 5. I'm wondering if the iPhone 5 is even compatible..
