Hi joyfromtampa,


I understand that you are receiving messages on your iPad that were supposed to come to your iPhone. This is due to you being signed in to your Apple ID in the Messages app’s settings on your iPad. These settings can be found here:


Messages settings - iPad User Guide

You will want to adjust these settings on your iPad to achieve the desired result. If you wish to know more information about how your phone number and Apple ID are linked, you may wish to look over the following article as well:

Thanks for using the Apple Support Communities. Have a good one!
