Text messages not being received between iphone and ipad

• Looks like CenturyLink is on the Verizon Network - so call it same network*
• your problems are between two customers of the same network = Verizon
• no problems with others
• no known changes - this is always the first thing, but we forget that the Carrier is involved!

CONCLUSION: Call Verizon and CenturyLink and stick with the above facts

*1st thing I did was Google [ Verizon ios messages Centurylink ] - nothing of note (no 'trouble' trending, so to speak) - the two's "Help" pages mostly + hype of the 'Partnership'

One thing I have learned about large databases is that sometimes a glitch can 'attach' itself to a record (i.e., a User). That is my bet, you, your friend or most likely BOTH have some funkiness attached to your DB records.

This may be difficult to find and kill however. I (and others) have had experiences with assorted glitches that I can say with confidence were attached to my AppleID. Proved it because I have TWO and the non-ChitlinsCC one did not have the glitch. All things exactly the same with only difference the AppleID I was logged as.

Yahoo Mail had a MAJOR issue when iOS 8.1.3 released on a LOT of iDevices (not all). It required that Yahoo comply with the iOS and that required some tweak be applied to every account, systematically, of Yahoo Mail - they are still doing it months later. (How could they know from an email account what device, OS and App each had? Couldn't, so every single account! = BIG JOB)

To try and be proactive... Why don't you both (one at a time to see if you could find the culprit) delete the Method & Means of contacting each other and recreate the M&M <(how often do you get to put M&M in a sentence?)

• YOU
  • Delete Contact
  • redo
  • test
• if no joy, FRIEND

  ditto

buenos noches

Typically, when someone says "text messages", they mean SMS text messages that are sent/received between cellular telephones using a cellular carrier network. However, an iPad is not a cellular telephone! This is true regardless of whether the iPad has a cellular connection or not. The iPad is unable to send or receive SMS text messages (yes, there is an exception that involves the iPad person using an iPhone to assist, but it sounds like that does not apply here).

Apple offers iMessage as a way to exchange messages to/from other Apple devices. iMessages are related to text messages, but they typically use WiFi to be communicated. So I suggest you research iMessage troubleshooting, starting here:

If you can't send or receive messages on your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
