iPad and Mac not getting text messages.

I'm having an issue and wonder if others are seeing this issue. I recently upgraded to 8.1.3 and now I'm not getting text message forward through my iPhone to my MAC or iPad. Sometime in the last week or so the text messages stop. iMessages are getting through, My blue bubble friends are fine however my not-quite-with-it-yet green bubble friends message are not making to the Pad or Mac.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.4)

Hi,


Set up iMessages on the iPhone.

Set it up on the Mac.

Add the apple to the iPhone so they link/sync as Apple calls it.

Put the iPhone on your LAN (Wireless settings)


Only at this point will you see the Text Forwarding option.

Select the Mac.

Wait for code - enter on iPhone.
