Hey Jschler,
I see that you are wanting to use one of the features of Continuity in iOS 8 in order to send an SMS message from your iPad through your iPhone. Here is an article with some information about accomplishing this goal:
Use Continuity to connect your iPhone, iPad, iPod touch, and Mac - Apple Support

To use Continuity for SMS and MMS with your iPhone and your Mac, iPad or iPod touch
Your iPhone, iPad, and iPod touch need to use iOS 8.1, and your Mac needs to use OS X Yosemite.
- Sign in to iMessage on your iPhone, your other iOS devices, and your Mac using the same Apple ID.
- On your iPhone: Go to Settings > Messages > Send & Receive > You Can Be Reached By, and add a check to both your phone number and email address. Then, go to Settings > Messages > Text Message Forwarding, and enable the device(s) you would like to forward messages to.
- Your Mac, iPad, or iPod touch will display a code. Enter this code on your iPhone to verify the SMS feature.
Thanks for coming to the Apple Support Communities!
Cheers,
Braden
