I Can no longer send mms messages from my iPad 3 since downloading iOS 8.2. My iPhone 5 has no such issues, as I have not updated it to 8.2. And my wifi is fine, both are on the same network.
iPad (3rd gen) Wi-Fi, iOS 8.2, icloud
The ipad cannot send SMS or MMS messages because it is not a cellular phone.
You can send such messages from your iPad through your iPhone if you have FaceTime activated and Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding turned on for your iPad.
See here: Send messages with your iPhone, iPad, or iPod touch - Apple Support
settings>messages has only one option on my iPad, and that is iMessage. Wednesday I was sending text messages to non-iPhone users, downloaded iOS 8.2 to my ipad only, and can no longer do so. The error message says mms mmust be activated to send the message.
Jim is telling you that you have to turn the setting on in the iPhone settings in order to be able to send SMS messages on the iPad. He states tthat it must be turned on FOR your iPad, not on your iPad.
Thanks. The setting was correct on the iPhone, which was confusing to me. I turned it off then back on and it connected to the iPad, so it's working now.
Glad that you got it all sorted out.
