Q: Text message forwarding - no code on iPad or Mac

Hi,

I've just installed iOS 8.1 on my iPhone and iPad. I'd like to set up text message forwarding, but when iPhone ask me to enter the code shown on my iPad or Mac - no code is showed on both.

iPad, iOS 8

I've found a solution on another forum and it worked for me:

 

Try this: Go to your iPhone Messages settings and turn off iMessages and turn it on again. Then go to the iMessages Settings on your Mac and do the same. After that it worked for me. Also make sure to activate your telephone number in the iMessages settings on your Mac.

    This worked for me - thank you!! :-) It had been working fine for years until Apple wanted me to update my password. I did, & suddenly it stopped working. I wonder if it also had something to do with the iOS update?

    I just downloaded macOS Sierra 10.12 on my iMac and downloaded OS10 on my iPhone 6plus.  After turning off imessages on both devices (as directed by jordyg and activating the checkbox on "You can be reached for messages at:  on my Account Preferences, I finally saw the code appear!   

     

    I tried turning off as is directed in earlier version with El Capitan and it didn't work.  The OS Sierra now has a checkbox in Accounts for turning on messages from iPhone number.  I didn't see this before in El Capitan.  Hope this helps!
